Micronutrient status during paediatric critical illness: A scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

No evidence based recommendations for micronutrient requirements during paediatric critical illness are available, other than those arising from recommended nutrient intakes (RNI) for healthy children and expert opinion.

Objectives

The objective of this review is to examine the available evidence from micronutrient status in critically ill children considering studies which describe 1) micronutrient levels, 2) associations between micronutrient levels and clinical outcome, and 3) impact on clinical outcome with micronutrient supplementation during PICU admission.

Design

Scoping review.

Eligibility criteria

Any study which used a qualitative and quantitative design considering causes and consequences of micronutrient levels or micronutrient supplement
