Meta-Analysis of Refeeding Syndrome in Predicting the Risk of Occurrence in Critically Ill Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) have a high risk of refeeding syndrome (RFS). Identifying RFS in its early stages is often challenging, making preventive interventions for high-risk patients difficult. The aim of this review is to identify risk factors for RFS in ICU patients receiving nutritional support.

Study design

We systematically searched CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and Web of Science up to November 2024 for cohort/case-control studies assessing RFS risk factors in adults (≥ 18 years). Risk of bias was evaluated using Risk Of Bias In Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I). Data were analyzed using RevMan 5.4.

Results

Eighteen articles were included, comprising 3360 cases. Baseline serum phosphate [weig
