2.4. Measurements
All enrolled patients underwent non-invasive body composition measurements on day 1, day 3, and day 8 (if alive). The data for the SOFA score were also collected on day 1, day 3, and day 8. Dietitians recorded daily actual energy (caloric) and protein intake of the patients, including intake from enteral and parenteral routes, from day 1 to day 8. The goals for caloric intake were set at 20 kcal/kg and for protein intake at 1.2 g/kg per day.
