Data are expressed as median (25%, 75% quartile) or n (%).
Target energy intake of <66% (low-energy group) vs. ≥66% (high-energy group): Mann–Whitney U test and chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables. Target energy was set at 25 kcal/kg of actual body weight/day.
Low, low-energy intake group; High, high-energy intake group; BMI, body mass index; CCI, Charlson comorbidity index; NIHSS, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; SCU, stroke care unit.
