Calculations based on the Harris-Benedict equation revealed no significant difference in the primary outcome between the two groups, with a secondary outcome that showed worse mortality in the low-energy group. Given this result, energy requirement-based assessments using the Harris-Benedict equation might help in the management of elderly heart failure patients in terms of improved life outcomes.
