Abstract
Nutritional requirements vary during a patient's stay in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and their calculation can be relatively complex. During ICU stay nutrition requirements are rarely met, especially during the initial days of the hospitalization. Studies have shown that poor nutrition is associated with adverse patient outcome. This study examines for correlation between poor nutrition (calories, proteins, lipids and micronutrients) during the 1 st week of ICU stay and adverse patient outcome. Nutritional adherence effect is examined on groups of patients, such as patients with high BMI that receive low nutrition and critically ill males. Regarding the latter analysis, an accuracy rate of 76.4% was achieved when classifying the critically ill males towards their outcome. The results of this work could contribute to the development of smart alarms in the ICU.Keywords
