Journal Club: Characteristics and feeding intolerance in critically ill adult patients receiving peptide-based enteral nutrition
Recorded by Dietitian Connection on December 3, 2025

CDR Required Learner Assessment and Feedback Survey

Question Title

1. What is a cross-sectional study?

Describes a population or situation

Compares individuals with and without a given condition to establish risk factors for disease or condition

Observation with a specific population sample at one point intime (not longitudinal or on-going)

Observation of a group in a longitudinal time – prospective or retrospective

Question Title

2. Nutrition support strategies for critically ill patients include nutrition protocols that incorporate

Specialized formulas including 100% whey peptide-based formulas

Other peptide-based formulas

Standard intact protein formulas

All of the above

Question Title

3. What is the null hypothesis for this study?

There will be no difference in EFI between patients on 100% whey-based EN formulas vs other peptide-based formulas or standard intake-protein formulas.

There will be a difference in weight loss between patients on 100% whey-based EN formulas vs other peptide-based formulas or standard intact-protein formulas.

Question Title

4. Your hospital has IPB, OPB and OPB high protein products on formulary, for which group could you “make a case” for a WPB VHP formula based on the current study?

All ICU patients

ICU patients with GI intolerance

ICU patients with Hyperglycemia

None, this wasn’t a randomized controlled trial
