Resting energy expenditure in cancer patients: Agreement between predictive equ...
Barcellos, PS; Borges, Nuno; Torres, DuarteBackground/Objectives: Disorders of energy metabolism is a common phenomenon in cancer patients. Changes in resting energy expenditure (REE) combined with inadequate nutrition support appear to be causes of nutritional depletion in cancer patients. In clinical practice, REE is typically calculated using predictive equations. The aim of this study was to determine the agreement between REE estimated by predictiv...
New equation to estimate resting energy expenditure in non-critically ill patients
Barcellos, PS; Borges, Nuno; Torres, DuarteBackground: Correct measurement of resting energy expenditure (REE) is essential to offer a proper nutritional management during hospital stay. Dietitians are not able to perform an effective dietary treatment if predicted REE values are obtained from invalid equations. Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a more valid method to estimate REE in non-critically ill Portuguese patients. Design: In this ...
