Review of Outcomes Used in Nutrition Trials in Pediatric Critical Care.

Considerable variation in the outcome measures chosen and their definitions exist within PIC nutrition trials.

The next step is to conduct an international Delphi study to gain expert consensus and develop a core outcome set to be reported in future pediatric nutrition trials.
