Incidence and risk factors of nasogastric feeding intolerance in moderately-severe to severe acute pancreatitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The importance of enteral nutrition (EN) in acute pancreatitis (AP) has been emphasised. Nasogastric (NG) feeding has been the preferred route for EN delivery in most AP patients intolerant to oral intake. However, gastric feeding intolerance (GFI) was frequently reported, especially in patients with more severe diseases. This study aimed to investigate the incidence and risk factors for GFI in moderately-severe to severe AP.

Methods

This is a single-centre, retrospective study. All the data were extracted from an electronic database from April 2020 to May 2021. Data were prospectively collected during hospitalisation. Patients diagnosed with moderately-severe to severe AP and admitted within seven days from the onset of abdominal pain were assessed for eligibilit
