Intervention group: would receive EN reaching up to 20 % of daily nutritional requirements and early (on first day of stay in ICU) provision (of up to 80%) of protein (2 g/kg/ day or in case of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) 2,5 g/kg/ day) and caloric (15-20 kcal/kg/day) needs in SPN that would be continued until 7th day of stay in ICU for the purpose of the study.

Control group: would receive EN reaching up to 20 % of daily nutritional requirements and late (of up to 80%) of protein (2 g/kg/ day or in case of CRRT 2,5 g/kg/ day) and caloric (15-20 kcal/kg/day ) in SPN on 7th day of stay in ICU if it is not already met via enteral route.

Central venous catheter placement would not be assessed as a part of intervention due to the fact that it is a part of routine medical activities performed during admission to ICU.

BACKGROUND: Nutrition plays a significant role in ICU treatment, and may influence mortality and length of stay in ICU. Enteral route (EN) is preferential to parenteral route (PN) in provision of daily nutritional requirements. When enteral route is insufficient, supplemental parenteral nutrition (SPN) is recommended. Optimal timing of SPN in acute phase of illness remains elusive. ICU patients suffer significant lean body mass loss, in majority, in the first 7-10 days of stay. Optimal provision of protein may prevent muscle wasting. Lean body mass is essential for optimal physical functioning after treatment. Although ICU mortality has been reduced lately, the number of patients going to rehabilitation after ICU stay has tripled. Patients after oncological surgery of the gastrointestinal tract may be threatened with impairment of physical functioning after ICU treatment.

AIM: To compare the influence of early and late supplemental parenteral nutrition on long-term physical functioning in ICU patients after oncological surgery of the gastrointestinal tract.

STUDY DESIGN: Prospective, randomised, multi-centre assessor-blinded study. METHODS \& ANALYSIS: Patients will be randomised into intervention group that would receive SPN on first day, and would be continued until 7th day of stay in ICU. Control group would receive SPN on 7th day of stay in ICU, when it is not then already met via enteral route. Physical Component of SF-36 Scale at 6 month after ICU admission will be assessed.

We will collect data regarding changes from baseline SOFA score - to determine the extent of a person's organ function failure. SOFA scoring system is useful in predicting the clinical outcomes of critically ill patients. Patient can be scored from 0 to 24. If the patient is scored 0 than the patient is in a good state and predicted mortality is low, while 24 is the worst result with expected very high mortality rate.
