Authors’ conclusions
The available evidence suggests that use of high-carbohydrate, high-protein, low-fat enteral feeds in patients with at least 10% TBSA
burns might reduce the incidence of pneumonia compared with use of a low-carbohydrate, high-protein, high-fat diet. The available
evidence is inconclusive regarding the effect of either enteral feeding regimen on mortality. Note that the available evidence is limited to
two small studies judged to be of moderate risk of bias. Further research is needed in this area before strong conclusions can be drawn.
