%mBMI Percentage of median BMI, EER Estimated Energy Requirement, BMI Body Mass Index

%mBMI was not calculated for individuals over 20 years of age (n = 6) due to upper limits of the Center for Disease Control (CDC) BMI-for-age percentile charts

Fluid balance was calculated as total input minus total output
