This study aimed to investigate whether m-NUTRIC can be used as a predictive factor related to the outcome of patients in surgical ICU (SICU) and to identify which patients will benefit from aggressive nutritional intervention according to the results of m-NUTRIC score. A total of 205 patients who were admitted to surgical ICU (SICU) with ventilator use for more than 24 hours were enrolled.
