Resting Energy Expenditure in Palliative Cancer Patients

Resting Energy Expenditure in Palliative Cancer Patients (REPAT) - an Explorative Study in Patients With Incurable Cancer


Sponsor

Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Enrollment

150 participants

Start Date

Sep 5, 2023

Study Type

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.
