In critically ill patients, what is the relationship between resting metabolic rate (RMR) and RMR predicted by the Penn State equation?Conclusion
Two studies comparing RMR and the Penn State equation report adequate precision (79% of non-obese subjects predicted within 10% of RMR). Further research in the critically ill population is needed regarding the Penn State equation. Grade III
Overall strength of the available supporting evidence: Grade I - good; Grade II - fair; Grade III - limited; Grade IV - expert opinion; Grade V: not assignable
