Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Rectus abdominis muscle (RAM) and rectus femoris muscle (RFM) thickness measured by ultrasonography will be recorded on both sides for each patient. Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive and Negative predictive values, and accuracy of RAM and RFM, Area under curve (AUC) will be calculated mNUTRIC score will be calculated for each patient based on the five variables - Age, APACHE II, SOFA, Number of comorbidities, and days from hospital to ICU admissionTimepoint: After admission to the ICU, within the first 24 hours

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Length of ICU stay is noted The need and duration of invasive mechanical ventilation is noted. Patient status (Alive/ Dead) is notedTimepoint: Patients after admission to ICU will be followed till discharge or upto 28 days, whichever is earlier
