Association between enteral nutrition support and neurological outcome in patients with acute intracranial haemorrhage: A retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Association between the amount of enteral nutrition (EN) caloric intake and Glasgow coma scale scores at discharge (GCS_dis) in intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) was retrospectively investigated in 230 patients in a single center from 2015 and 2017. GCS_dis was used as a dichotomous outcome (≤8 or >8: 56/230 vs. 174/230) and its association with the amount of EN caloric intake within 48 hours was analysed in four logistic models. Model 1 used EN as a continuous variable and showed association with favourable GCS_dis (odds ratio [OR], 1.04; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-1.08). Models 2 and 3 categorized EN into two (≤25 and >25 kcal/kg/48 hrs) and three caloric intake levels (≤10, 10~25, and >25 kcal/kg/48 hrs) respectively, and compared them with the lowest
