Energy balance
Participants expended ∼126 kcal/day more on the metabolic ward than in the respiratory chamber.
Practitioners should consider that energy expenditure may vary significantly between different inpatient settings.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Therefore, energy expenditure on the metabolic ward was 126 ± 55 kcal/day (p= 0.048) greater than in the respiratory chamber.
Why this rating
Based on study design from abstract.
