Outcomes considered in the IMPACT protocol program of research

	Process measures	Short-term (hospital) outcomesa (current phase II)	Long-term (months following hospital discharge) outcomes (future phase III)
Nutritional intervention	Compliance with the intervention Met with dietitian early in ICU stay and at ICU discharge to review materials Received a nutrition plan at ICU and ward discharge Used nutrition audit tool	Nutritional adequacy during ICU stay Consumption of Oral Nutritional Supplements during hospital stay Intake on hospital wards (3-day calorie count) Hand-grip strength at or before hospital discharge	Measures of patient’s long-term physical recovery (e.g., 6 MWD at 3 and 6 months)
