Summary
Brief summary
Maastricht index is an international parameter for assessment of nutritional status in hospitalized patients. This study was designed to compare Maastricht index between patients who received a standard enteral feeding product and kitchen made nutrition in ICU of a teaching hospital.
Method: A Randomized Clinical trial was done in ICU of shahid Rajaii hospital in Tehran, Iran. 60 patients under enteral feeding enrolled the study and evaluated for 10 days. Patients were randomized to receive fresubin (a standard enteral feeding available in Iran) or kitchen made nutrition that is routine nutrition delivery in most hospitals of Iran. In both groups nasogastric tubes were used for delivery of nutrients. Assessments of patients on the basis of Maastricht index were done at baseline, third day and seventh day after beginning enteral feeding.
