Description
Timo Oosterveld leads a large team charting in 2026 how energy burn evolves in patients stuck in intensive care for ten days or more. Feeding such patients well requires knowing their expenditure, yet long-stay metabolism has been poorly mapped.
Across seven intensive care units in Europe and Australia, 433 patients contributed nearly twelve hundred calorimetry measurements. Average expenditure rose early, peaked near day ten, then declined, a pattern that held after statistical adjustment. A marker of protein breakdown climbed over the same first stretch. Grouping analysis found three trajectories, from low to high burners. The turning point matches the usual onset of persistent critical illness, a clue for tailoring nutrition.
