Associations between Protein Delivery and post-hospital mortality outcomes.
| Outcome | OR | 95% CI | p-Value | Association for Each 1 g/kg/Day Increase in Protein Delivery |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 90-day post-discharge Mortality | ||||
| Full Cohort (n = 801) | 0.83 | 0.74–0.94 | 0.002 | 17% decrease odds of death |
| Malnutrition (n = 473) | 0.70 | 0.61–0.81 | <0.001 | 30% decrease odds of death |
| 180-day post-discharge Mortality | ||||
| Full Cohort (n = 801) | 0.74 | 0.67–0.83 | <0.001 | 26% decrease odds of death |
| 365-day post-discharge Mortality | ||||
| Full Cohort (n = 801) | 0.76 | 0.69–0.83 | <0.001 | 24% decrease odds of death |
| 720-day post-discharge Mortality | ||||
| Full Cohort (n = 801) | 0.77 | 0.71–0.84 | <0.001 | 23% decrease odds of death |
All estimates were produced via a mixed-effect logistic regression model adjusted for age, gender, race, Deyo-Charlson comorbidity index, energy delivery, nutrition status, acute organ failure, sepsis and the random-effects structure.
