Replication Data for: Impact of withholding early parenteral nutrition on 2-year mortality and functional outcome in critically ill adults.

This dataset contains the results of the preplanned collection of self-reported functional outcome and the vital status of patients included in the EPaNIC RCT (Casaer MP ea. NEJM 2011).
Functional status is based on the answers provided in the SF-36 survey and in case of missing answers imputed according to the SF-36 guidelines. The total scores for “physical functioning” “Physical Component Score” and “Mental Component Score” are provided.
For “physical functioning” additionally a penalized variable, attributing the lowest score to non-survivors is included.
Vital status at two years is obtained from the Belgian National Registry and for non-Belgian residents via phonecall.
The purpose of the data set is to analyze the impact of early versus late parenteral nutrition on morbidity and mortality after two years in patients deemed at lower versus higher nutritional risk.
