What this Trial Is About
This research project aims to study the effect of optimal and individualised nutrition to patients with critical illness during the intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital admission, and until six months after admission. The investigators want to describe and compare the usual care with a dietitian-tailored nutrition care. The hypothesis is that dietitian-tailored nutrition care will result in a higher mean energy intake compared to usual care.
