We assessed the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) performance to predict serum creatinine (SCr) in severe trauma population and determined the best theoretical glomerular filtration rate (GFR) to use in this estimation. ⋯ The eSCr75-MDRD equation systematically overestimates oSCr of severe trauma patients. The eSCrTRAUMA-MDRD equation determined was statistically superior allowing more accurate qualification of acute kidney injury.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Efficacy and Safety of Glutamine-supplemented Parenteral Nutrition in Surgical ICU Patients: An American Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.
To determine whether glutamine (GLN)-supplemented parenteral nutrition (PN) improves clinical outcomes in surgical intensive care unit (SICU) patients. ⋯ PN supplemented with GLN dipeptide was safe, but did not alter clinical outcomes among SICU patients.
