A meta-analysis of randomized controlled clinical trials. Ann Surg 1999, 229:467-477. This meta-analysis demonstrated that the provision of immunonutrition resulted in a significant reduction in the risk of developing infectious complications and reduced the overall hospital stay in patients with critical illness. However, it had no effect on death.

The largest prospective randomized clinical trial to date of immunonutrition in critically ill patients. The early provision of immunonutrition with Impact resulted in a significant reduction in duration of mechanical ventilation and length of hospital stay, with no difference in hospital mortality rate.
