Early Enteral Nutrition May Improve Survival in Patients With Cardiogenic Shock.

ABSTRACT: Background and Aim: International guidelines recommend early enteral nutrition (EEN) for critically ill patients. However, evidence supporting the optimal timing of EN in patients diagnosed with cardiogenic shock (CS) is lacking. As such, this study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes and safety of EEN versus delayed EN in patients diagnosed with CS. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV version 2.2 database. Patients who received EN within 2 days of admission were assigned to the EEN group. A 1:1 propensity score-matched (PSM) analysis was performed to control for bias in baseline characteristics and ensure the reliability of the results. To exclude the impact of confounders, an adjusted p
