ANZICS CTG Endorsed Study
TARGET PPP (NZ) / Nutrition prescription in ANZ: PPD (AUS)
TARGET Point Prevalence Study – New Zealand / Nutrition prescription in Australian and New Zealand intensive care units: A point prevalence audit – Australia
Study Description
The Augmented versus Routine approach to Giving Energy Trial (TARGET) was a 4000-patient randomised controlled, multicentre trial comparing augmented enteral energy delivery to standard care on 90-day survival. TARGET completed recruitment in November 2017. In order to evaluate the influence TARGET has had on current practice and may have on future practice, an understanding of current nutrition practices in Australian and New Zealand intensive care units (ICUs) must be obtained. Data on protein prescription will also guide a Phase III trial on protein delivery in critically ill adults.
This is a prospective, observational, multicentre, single-day, point-prevalence study. The objective is to determine common nutrition (energy and protein) prescriptions across Australia and New Zealand ICUs.
