Daily calorie and protein intake, and distribution of nutrition resources. Intake is presented as median, interquartile range, minimum, and maximum values with outliers versus pre-defined targets (blue horizontal bars) based on the 2019 ESPEN Guideline on Clinical Nutrition in Critical Care, and with proportion of nutrition resources used on a respective day. ESPEN-defined daily calorie intake targets were 10 kcal/kg on D1, 15 kcal/kg on D2–D3, 20 kcal/kg on D4–D6, 25 kcal/kg on D7–D15. ESPEN-defined daily protein intake targets were 0.6 g/kg on D1, 0.9 g/kg on D2–D3, 1.3 g/kg on D4–D15. Non-nutritional calories included the use of glucose solutions, propofol, clevidipine, and citrate from renal replacement therapy. Patients without any nutrition on a respective day were counted with 0 kcal or 0 g protein. The EN and/or PN categories also included patients who had received small amounts of calories/protein from oral nutrition/ONS.
