Nutrition characteristics and delivery in relation to 28-day mortality in mechanically-ventilated patients admitted to a government hospital in the Maldives

Mortality rate of mechanicallyventilated patients in South Asian countries is not much researched. Involvement of dietitian in managing critically ill patients is not very well mentioned.
