Resting Energy Expenditure in Palliative Cancer Patients
Resting Energy Expenditure in Palliative Cancer Patients (REPAT) - an Explorative Study in Patients With Incurable Cancer
Norwegian University of Science and Technology
150 participants
Sep 5, 2023
OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The study purpose is to measure REE by indirect calorimetry and to determine limits of agreement with confidence intervals between measured REE and predictive equations for determination of energy requirements in patients with incurable cancer. Clinical factors associated with hyper- and hypometabolism will be elucidated. Data will be obtained from patient journals in combination with measurements of REE and registration of survival. Data will be collected at one timepoint and survival will be monitored prospectively.
