  1. Odds of 60-day mortality per increase of 1,000 kilocalories (top) and 30 gram of protein (bottom) received per day both unadjusted and adjusting for nutrition days, BMI, age, and APACHE II score. Panel A shows data in the total study population and Panel B the data for the patients included in the sensitivity analysis who received enteral nutrition at least 7 days in the ICU and who were alive and evaluable for subsequent outcome. CI, confidence interval; kcal, kilocalories.
