Overview
- The peer-reviewed study was published December 17, 2025, in Nature Communications.
- Underfeeding was frequent early in ICU care, affecting about 41–53% of patients by day three and 25–35% by day seven.
- NutriSighT forecasts which patients may be underfed on days three to seven of ventilation hours in advance and refreshes its risk estimates every four hours.
- The model highlights routine drivers of risk, including blood pressure, sodium levels, and sedation exposure, to support clinician interpretation.
- Investigators describe the tool as decision support rather than a replacement for clinicians, with plans for multi-site prospective trials and careful EHR integration.
