Proper nutrition can promote healing and improve clinical outcome. Open abdomen patients are at risk of declining nutritional status. To investigate this issue, we first assessed nutrition adequacy and clinical outcomes by using data from a retrospective study on 33 patients. We assessed potential factors as correlates of altering resting energy expenditure by using data from a prospective pilot study of 7 open abdomen patients, after implementing indirect calorimetry as a standard of care at a Level-1 trauma center in Montreal. At baseline, the vast majority of the participants were underfed in the first study, while in the second study unexpected dynamic changes in resting energy expenditure were observed after closure of the abdomen comp...
