Abstract

Objective To compare measured resting energy expenditure to resting energy expenditure predicted from eight published prediction equations in a sample of patients with pancreatic cancer. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Ambulatory patients of a tertiary private hospital. Participants Eight patients with pancreatic cancer (5 males, 3 females; age: 62.0±5.2 years; BMI: 24.4±3.2 kg/m2; weight loss: 12.1±6.0%; mean±SD). Methods Resting energy expenditure was measured using indirect calorimetry an
