Figure 1
Figure 1 Difference of the measured resting energy expenditure before and after enteral nutrition support in each group. Metabolism was measured by resting energy expenditure (REE) per kilogram. P-values were calculated by paired-samples t-test. EN: Enteral nutrition.
Figure 2
Figure 2 Measured resting energy expenditure vs predicted resting energy expenditure. Measured resting energy expenditure (REE) vs predicted REE using 25 kcal/kg (A) and the Harris-Benedict (H-B) equation (B). The comparison was aimed at patients in the active phase before enteral nutrition support (group A + B). P-values were calculated by using a paired-samples t-test.
