Abstract
Malnutrition has a high incidence among patients hospitalized to PICUs. It has a major impact on a childs outcome, including death, morbidity, and length of ICU stay.1,2,3 During this acute phaseinICU,there is decreased energy and protein delivery to body tissues. So the metabolism shifts to catabolic. Although initially these changes are life saving for the child but as a whole these changes deteriorate the nutritional status of the child. And if it coupled with suboptimal nutrition intake during ICU stay then it leads to significant anthropometric deterioration., Objectives: 1.To evaluate incidence of malnutrition in critically ill children admitted to PICU. 2.To find the change in anthropometric indices mainly weight in critically ill children after illness phase in PICU. 3.Impact of enteral nutrition on outcome of child. Study Design: Prospective observational study conducted in pediatric intensive care unit over a period of 6 months from 1/02/2024 to 31/07/2024.
