Clinical Predictors and Prevalence of Enteral Nutrition Intolerance in Acute Pancreatitis: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) leads to severe inflammation and nutritional deficits, with 80% of severe cases experiencing critical protein loss. Timely enteral nutrition is essential for recovery. This study systematically reviews and analyzes the incidence and predictors of enteral nutrition intolerance (ENI) in AP patients. Methods: Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, and PubMed were searched up to May 2024.
