Sentence examples for feed intolerance from inspiring English sources

Feed intolerance was not associated with ICU or hospital mortality (ICU; intolerant 48% vs. tolerant 52% died, P = 0.08: hospital; intolerant 40% vs. tolerant 60% died, P = 0.31), but was associated with longer ICU and hospital LOS (ICU; intolerant 13 (1 to 94) days vs. tolerant 7 (1 to 51) days, P ≤0.001: hospital; intolerant 32 (10 to 120) days vs. tolerant 26 (3 to 177) days, P = 0.02).

The results showed a higher frequency of raised blood sugars in the feed-intolerant group both before and during feeding, with the time taken to develop feed intolerance being inversely proportional to the admission blood sugar level.

Equally, when feed intolerance is intractable, PN in standard doses may be a viable option.

A caloric deficit frequently occurs due to slow intake progression, unnecessary stoppages, delayed gastric emptying, enteral feed intolerance and delays in post-pyloric feeding tube placement [6].

Available data indicates that feed intolerance may occur in up to 38% of the ECMO patients [5] and that patients may be receiving as little as 50% of their nutritional requirements due to enteral feed intolerance [9] resulting in large caloric deficit.

Finally, associated postoperative outcomes were compared between groups.In total, 126 patients were included, of which 18 (14 %) had complications directly related to their FJT, including pericatheter infection (n = 6), pneumatosis intestinalis (n = 4), severe tube feed intolerance (n = 3), and primary catheter malfunction (n = 7).

Future studies should therefore target patients who develop feed-intolerance while receiving gastrokinetic drugs.

There are no studies that include only patients with persistent feed-intolerance and/or those at the greatest risk of ICU-acquired pneumonia.

For this reason, we recommend against extrapolating this systematic review to patients with documented enteral feed-intolerance (as a marker of delayed gastric emptying) [ 49], particularly when feed-intolerance occurs during gastrokinetic drug use, and/or those at the greatest risk of ICU-acquired pneumonia - as these groups of patients may well benefit from small intestinal feeding.
