Adequacy of nutrition delivery and ICU survival in COVID-19 patients receiving ECMO therapy. The patient population was divided into two subgroups according to (A) mean calorie delivery ≥70% or <70% of calculated requirements or (B) mean protein delivery ≥0.7 or <0.7 g/kg BW/d over the course of ECMO therapy. ICU survival was calculated according to the method of Kaplan and Meier. Both mean calorie delivery ≥70% of calculated requirements (p = 0.0075 by log rank test) and mean protein delivery ≥0.7 g/kg BW/d (p = 0.0441 by log rank test) were related to an increased ICU survival in COVID-19 patients receiving ECMO support.
