Nutrition plays a vital role in the management of critically ill patients, and a tailored approach based on patient assessment, nutritional requirements, and clinical status is essential for optimising outcomes and promoting recovery. The concept of patient phenotyping and endotyping will help clinicians to better target nutrition interventions for a patient by categorising patients based on observable behaviours and underlying biological mechanisms, respectively.

About these concepts, their clinical use, and limitations we have interviewed Dr. Arthur Van Zanten. Listen to his explanations in our podcast offered by NEXT.
