Effect of calorie on cognitive function among traumatic brain injury (tbi) patients: a pilot study

A recent discovery showed that low calorie was beneficial for cognitive function with lower mortality rate and produced better clinical outcomes in critically-ill and medical intensive care unit patients. [...]this study was conducted to provide preliminary evidence of the relation between calorie and cognitive function and to determine calorie adequacy for optimal cognitive recovery among them. Socio-demography, nutritional and neuropsychology data were analyzed using SPSS version 22 with the percentage of calorie intake (%CI) was set as the independent variable; whilst duration to finish trail-making subtest (FT), and the total score (TS) of M°CA were the dependent variables. [...]this pilot study was conducted to examine the relation of calorie to cognitive recovery among TBI patients and to determine calorie adequacy for optimal cognitive recovery.
