Components of Total Energy Expenditure in Healthy and Critically Ill Children: A Comprehensive Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Total energy expenditure (TEE) is the total energy expended by an individual to sustain life, activities, and growth. TEE is formed by four components: resting energy expenditure (REE), activity energy expenditure (AEE), growth-related energy expenditure (GEE), and the thermic effect of feeding (TEF). Some energy expenditure (EE) components may change throughout childhood and cannot be reliably estimated using prediction formulae.

Objective

To summarize measured TEE components as reported in the literature in healthy and critically ill children.

Methods

We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL for studies published between 1946 and 7 September 2023. The primary outcome was energy expenditure. Included studies were published in English and measured one or mor
