Objectives: To understand the relationship between the timing of initiation of nutritional support in children with severe traumatic brain injury and outcomes. Design: Secondary analysis of a randomized, controlled trial of therapeutic hypothermia (Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury Consortium: Hypothermia, also known as “the Cool Kids Trial” (NCT 00222742). Settings: Fifteen clinical sites in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. Subjects: Inclusion criteria included 1) age less than 18 years, 2) postresuscitation Glasgow Coma Scale less than or equal to 8, 3) Glasgow Coma Scale motor score less than 6, and 4) available to be randomized within 6 hours after injury. Exclusion criteria included normal head CT, Glasgow Coma Scale equals to 3, hypotension for greater than 10 minutes ( 30 min), pregnancy, penetrating injury, and unavailability of a parent or guardian to consent at centers without emergency waiver of consent. Interventions: Therapeutic hypothermia (32–33°C for 48 hr) followed by slow rewarming for the primary study. For this analysis, the only intervention was the extraction of data regarding nutritional support from the existing database. Measurements and Main Results: Timing of initiation of nutritional support was determined and patients stratified into four groups (group 1—no nutritional support over first 7 d; group 2—nutritional support initiated
