The primary aim of this study was to “evaluate and differentiate
the effects of three nutrition support regimens with one treatment
group randomized to receive the newmodular tube feeding.”
Outcomes assessed included diarrhoea (cumulative incidence as
a percentage, total days with, and mean days with), constipation
(number of patients experiencing, and total days with), glycaemic
control (mean days requiring exogenous insulin, and mean insulin
days), number of patients with bacteraemia, number of patients
with wound infection, number of patients with pneumonia, mean
days on ventilator, discharge weight as a percentage of pre-burn
weight, and mortality.No data were available for sepsis score, time
to healing, insulin requirements, protein turnover, nitrogen balance,
or nutritional status serum markers.
