Abstract: Objective To analyze the correlation of energy delivery and in-hospital mortality in acute phase of critical illness in intensive care unit (ICU). Methods The patients who were admitted to general ICU, Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital for more than 7 days from April 2019 to April 2021 were enrolled.The clinical and nutritional data on the first 7 days were retrospectively collected. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of in-hospital mortality. Results A total of 61 patients were recruited, and 18 of them died during hospitalization. The results of multivariate logistic regression showed thatNutrition Risk Screening(NRS) 2002 score (P=0.018), days of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) (P=0.013) and total calories risk (TCB) in the first 3d (P=0.044) were the risk factors of in-hospital mortality. The risk of in-hospital mortality increased by 120% per each 500 kcal (1 kcal=4.186 kJ) of total calories balance during the first 3 days of ICU. For the patients with high nutritional risk (NRS 2002≥5), TCB in the first-3d (P=0.042) and days of CRRT (P=0.019) were also the high risk factors of in-hospital mortality. While they were no predictive values in the patients with lower nutrition risk (NRS 2002<5). Conclusion NRS 2002 score, days of CRRT and TCB in the first-3d were the risk factors of in-hospital mortality for critically ill patients in ICU, particularly for the high nutritional risk one.
