  Figure 1. Prevalence of randomized clinical trials evaluating critically ill patients with primary or secondary patient-centered outcomes, as well as their distribution based on the focus of the study. The definitions “including mortality” and “excluding mortality” refer to the evaluation of all studies involving critically ill patients (MV + nutrition + sepsis). The definitions “MV”, “nutrition” and “sepsis” refer to studies of specific populations. The definition “excluding mortality” refers to the evaluation of other outcomes, in addition to mortality. MV - mechanical ventilation.
