Nutrition check for critically ill children in intensive care
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at the nutritional status of children aged 1 month to 5 years who are admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It aims to understand how their nutrition is affected during critical illness, which may help improve care.
