Spotlight on Undernutrition in Critically Ill Children

Undernutrition in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) is a significant clinical concern with serious implications for patient outcomes and healthcare costs. This infographic summarizes findings from a large retrospective study that examined the prevalence, clinical impact, and economic burden of undernutrition in children admitted to the PICU. It also presents how practical screening tools and targeted nutrition strategies, such as energy-nutrient dense feeds (ENDFs), can support patient recovery and reduce resource use.

Why This Resource Matters to Your Clinical Practice

This clear and visual summary gives you practical, evidence-based insights that help you:

  • Identify the high prevalence of undernutrition in PICU patients (1 in 5 diagnosed)

  • Understand how undernutrition leads to:

    • Longer hospital stays

    • Higher readmission and mortality rates

    • Greater healthcare use and increased costs

  • Learn the value of mid-upper-arm circumference screening

  • Apply key ESPNIC recommendations, including early enteral nutrition and ENDF use, especially for fluid-restricted or recovering children

This resource supports your ability to detect undernutrition early, initiate timely nutrition care, and improve health outcomes in pediatric critical care settings.
