We performed a randomized prospective controlled trial. The intervention group (n=27) was nutritional supported (intestinal or parenteral) with a caloric capacity of 20– 40% of European Conference on Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) recommendations; specifically, low-protein intake was 0.5– 0.7g/kg per day (containing the amount of alanyl-glutamine), glutamine was 0.3 g/kg per day, and the intervention treatment lasted for 7 days. The control group (n=26) was nutritionally supported with a caloric capacity of 70– 100% of ESPEN recommendations, and the protein intake was 1.2– 1.7 g/kg per day. The primary endpoint was 28-day mortality. Secondary endpoints were the length of ICU stay, days in the hospital, days of ventilator use, adverse events and nosocomial infection events.Results: There were no differences in baseline characteristics between groups. Survival curve analysis using the Kaplan-Meier method revealed no significant difference in 28-day mortality between the two groups (P=0.31) while adverse events (χ2= 5.853, P=0.016), nosocomial infection rate (χ2 = 4.316, P=0.038), the length of ICU stay (t=− 2.617, P=0.012), hospitalization time (t=− 2.169, P=0.036), and days of ventilator use (t=− 2.144,P=0.037) of patients in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the control group.Conclusion: Low-protein, hypocaloric nutrition with glutamine did not show different outcomes in 28-day mortality compared to full-feeding nutritional support in the ICU patients with STBI. However, low-protein, hypocaloric nutrition with glutamine could provide a lower need for ICU time, hospitalization time, and ventilator time in the ICU patients with STBI.Keywords: acute phase, severe traumatic brain injury, nutrition, low-protein, hypocaloric, glutamineXiong WQian KDove Medical Pressarticleacute phasesevere traumatic brain injurynutritionlow-proteinhypocaloricglutamineNeurosciences.
