Recommendations
Nutrition Assessment
Based on expert consensus, we suggest a determination of nutrition risk (eg, nutritional risk screening [NRS 2002], NUTRIC score) be performed on all patients admitted to the ICU for whom volitional intake is anticipated to be insufficient. High nutrition risk identifies those patients most likely to benefit from early EN therapy. ()
