“…(20) Because of sedation and mechanical ventilation, the calorie needs of PICU patients may be less than estimated, and overfeeding can increase the need for mechanical ventilation, the risk of infection, and the length of the PICU stay. (22,23) Early nutrition has been suggested to suppress autophagy, (24,25) which is an important protective mechanism of cells in situations of increasing oxidative stress and inflammation. However, this response may eventually fail, with the patient progressing to malnutrition.…”

“…Elevated blood glucose levels (BG) (Hyperglycaemia) is a common complication of prematurity and stress in neonatal intensive care, and while definitions and thresholds vary [11], studies show that 30-70% of very/extremely low birth weight infants have at least one BG> 8 mmol/L [12][13][14][15][16]. Hyperglycaemia is associated with increased mortality [15][16][17], and morbidity/complications in this cohort [15][16][17][18][19][20][21], but there is still debate over whether hyperglycaemia causes increased morbidity, or is reflective of worsened condition.…”

“…Hyperglycaemia has been linked to worsened outcomes. Associated morbidities include osmotic diuresis, electrolyte imbalance, intraventricular haemorrhage, sepsis, and increased ventilator dependence, retinopathy of prematurity, hospital length of stay and mortality [2][3][4][5][7][8][9]. High rates of proteolysis are also common in low birth weight infants, reducing muscle mass and inhibiting growth [10].…”
