The incidence of malnutrition in patients with severe neurological diseases is approximately 37%, among which hypoproteinemia is a common manifestation. It has been confirmed that serum albumin level is closely related to severity and mortality for patients. Protein is the basic component of tissue cells in the body, which plays an important role in the growth and development of senescent cells and the repair of damaged tissues. At present, the results of some randomized controlled studies show that it is difficult to achieve enough protein supplementation by commercial standard enteral nutrition agents alone, and additional protein supplementation is required. Commercial standard enteral nutrition preparations, whose whole protein components are casein and soy protein, do not achieve optimal uptake and utilization compared to whey proteins, which are more readily absorbed and utilized by the human gut. Whey protein and its hydrolyzed products have better nutritional quality than casein, which can provide high-quality nitrogen source for enteral nutrition and play an important role in correcting negative nitrogen balance, promoting wound healing and improving body immunity. Whether whey protein supplementation based on standard enteral nutrition preparation can improve serum albumin level and reduce the incidence of hypoproteinemia in patients with severe acute neurological disease has not been proved. In conclusion, we propose the hypothesis that compared with the standard enteral nutrition preparation regimen, the enteral nutrition regimen supplemented with whey protein in patients with severe neurological disease is more beneficial to improve the nutritional indicators of patients and reduce the occurrence of hypoproteinemia. It is expected that this randomized controlled trial will provide a new clinical basis for optimizing the enteral nutrition support program for patients with severe neurological diseases.
