“…To examine evidence for this nutrition strategy, we asked if early full feeding (started within the first 48 h and feeding goals to be met within 72 h of ICU admission or injury) as compared to a delayed strategy (feeds delayed for at least 48 h) improved the outcome of our critically ill patients. In our systematic review, we identified a total of 11 trials in heterogeneous critically ill patient populations (n = 412 patients) [569][570][571][572][573][574][575][576][577][578][579]. Only one trial was specifically conducted in patients with sepsis (n = 43 patients) [577].…”

Obesity increases early morbidity and mortality at the time of transplantation 101,102 and patients with a BMI greater than 35, when compared with patients with a BMI below 30, manifest higher intra-operative blood loss, more frequent multiorgan failure, and higher risk of infections.…”
