The study focuses on the patients' choice of enteral nutrition or parenteral nutrition. The results of the study revealed that enteral nutrition is most commonly used in intensive care unit patients, but parenteral nutrition is more often used as the initial route of nutritional therapy. It was also found out that there is a tendency toward higher mortality for patients who only received parenteral nutrition.
