note = {Research suggests that degradation of muscle mass and loss of functional proteins due to catabolism are associated with an adverse outcome in critically ill patients. While an adequate protein supply within a medical nutrition concept is suggested to minimize proteolysis, the specificities on appropriate dosage and timing are still unclear. The current study aimed to evaluate the effect of two different quantities of protein as part of a standardized energetically controlled nutrition therapy on the preservation of muscle mass in the late phase of critical illness.
A randomized controlled trial was conducted in 42 critically ill patients (age 65 ± 15; 12 female; simplified acute physiology score [SAPS] 45 ± 11; therapeutic intervention scoring system [TISS] 20 ± 7; sequential organ failure assessment [SOFA-] score 7 ± 3). The subjects were randomly assigned to either intervention (1.8 g protein/kg body weight [BW]/d) or standard (1.2 g protein/kg BW/d) group. Nutrient supply via enteral and/or parenteral nutrition was calculated based on the individual energy expenditure measured by indirect calorimetry and target protein content. Quadriceps muscle layer thickness (QMLT) was measured through sonography at inclusion and two times during the follow-up period (two and four weeks after inclusion). The measuring points were fixed on two sides at midpoint and two-thirds between anterior superior iliac spine and top of the patella. The data were analyzed descriptively and group differences were analyzed by chi-squared tests or unpaired two-sample t-tests. Daily changes in muscle mass were estimated using a linear mixed model procedure. Data are shown as the mean ± standard deviation (SD) and the estimation ± standard error (SE), respectively.
Actual protein intake reached 1.5 ± 0.5 g and 1.0 ± 0.5 g/kg BW/d in the intervention and standard group, respectively. Mean values of all QMLT measurement points at inclusion (day 13 ± 2 after intensive care unit [ICU] admission) were 13.5 ± 7.4 mm and 13.4 ± 7.1 mm in the intervention and standard group, respectively (P = 0.967). In both the groups, QMLT decreased over time (P < 0.001), while the estimated mean values of daily QMLT changes were -0.15 ± 0.08 mm (intervention) and -0.28 ± 0.08 mm (standard) without significant between-group differences (intervention effect, P = 0.368; time x intervention effect, P = 0.242). Biochemical markers (except for triglycerides and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3), illness scores, and clinical outcome showed no between-group differences at the end of the study period.
In this single-center trial the increased amounts of protein (1.5 g vs. 1.0 g/kg BW/d) provided through medical nutrition therapy in the late phase of critical illness did not achieve a statistically significant impact on the loss of muscle mass, selected biochemical markers, illness scores, and clinical outcome in long-term immobilized ICU patients. Larger multi-center trials are needed to evaluate, whether the numerical differences in muscle loss observed between the intervention and standard group could reach statistical significance and will improve clinical outcome.},
