Gastrointestinal dysfunction in the critically ill: a systematic scoping review and research agenda proposed by the Section of Metabolism, Endocrinology and Nutrition of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine
Current evidence on gastrointestinal dysfunction in critically ill patients is limited, partly due to inconsistent definitions and monitoring tools. This review proposes a research agenda focused on priority areas like diarrhoea and feeding intolerance, highlighting the need for consensus on key definitions and standardized outcomes to improve future research.
