Relationship between nutrition initiation time group and mortality

	n = 90, (%)	Mortality		p value
	n = 90, (%)	No (n = 78, 86.7%)	Yes (n = 12, 13.3%)	p value
Nutrition Group				0.01^*
Group 1	5,(5.6)	2,(40)	3,(60)
Group 2	32,(35.5)	30,(93.7)	2,(6.3)
Group 3	36,(40)	32,(88.9)	4,(11.1)
Group 4	17,(18.9)	14,(82.4)	3,(17.6)

Pairwise comparisons: Group 1 vs. 2, p = 0.001*; Group 1 vs. 3, p = 0.006*; Group 1 vs. 4, p = 0.06; Group 2 vs. 3, p = 0.48; Group 2 vs. 4, p = 0.21; Group 3 vs. 4, p = 0.51.

Group 1 – no nutritional support administered during study period; Group 2 – nutritional support initiated < 48 h after injury; Group 3 – nutritional support initiated 48 h – < 72 h after injury; Group 4 – nutritional support initiated 72 h – 168 h after injury
