Abstract: BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE:The prevention of malnutrition is an important factor in the survival of critically ill patients with enteral nutrition. The present study aims to assess the nutritional status and its association with some blood-related markers in critically ill patients with enteral nutrition during hospitalization in the intensive care units (ICUs). METHODS:Totally, 110 patients participated in this study from the time of admission to discharge at five ICUs. The patients’ nutritional status was assessed by subjective global assessment (SGA), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation and Albumin, Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC), Hemoglobin (Hb), Hematocrit (HCT), Ferritin, and Feas biochemical indices and anthropometric parameters. RESULTS:Malnutrition prevalence increased significantly on the day of discharge (83.6%) compared to the day of admission (41.8%), according to SGA (P < 0.001). Hb, HCT, serum Fe decreased and ferritin, also TIBC were increased during hospitalization in ICU. The malnutrition risk predictors based on the logistic regression were low levels of Hb (OR = 0.6), HCT (OR = 0.9), Fe (OR = 0.9), Albumin (OR = 0.3) and High Ferritin level (OR = 1.006) on the admission day. Anemia of inflammation (AI) was observed during ICU stay. CONCLUSION:This study demonstrated that malnutrition is an increasing phenomenon in the ICU patients and the delay in patient’s enteral feeding had a direct influence in the prevalence of malnutrition on discharge day.
