Patients exhibited initial physical functioning scores below the reference values yet demonstrated substantial physical recuperation by the 12-week mark following their ICU discharge in both groups.
Nutrition interventions may play a crucial role in recovery for post-ICU patients.

More from this paper
- Factors affecting the feasibility of nutrition research in post-ICU patients were identified, including slow patient recruitment rates, low adherence to the intervention, and the inability to complete outcome assessments.Strong
- Differences between the groups regarding the primary outcome (composite score of physical functioning) could not be identified due to early termination.Strong

- Athletes aiming to reduce fat mass and preserve FFM should consume protein intakes in the range of ∼1.8-2.7 g kg(-1) d(-1).Strong
- A minimum daily protein intake of ≥1.6 g/kg is necessary to observe significant improvements in muscle mass from whey protein supplementation.Strong
- Most athletes ideally need 1.2 to 2.0 grams/kg of body weight/day of protein, preferably split across 3-4 meals.Strong
