Feng L, Xiang D, Wu Y. Clinical effects and safety of semi-solid feeds in tube-fed patients: a meta-analysis and systematic review. Front Nutr 2024; 11:1331904. [PMID: 38725574 PMCID: PMC11079128 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2024.1331904] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Enteral nutrition is a very important form of treatment for critically ill patients. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the clinical effects and safety of semi-solid feeds in tube-fed patients. Methods Two researchers searched PubMed, clinical trials, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, and Weipu databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the clinical effects and safety of semi-solid feeds in tube-fed patients until 10 October 2023. The quality evaluation tool recommended by the Cochrane Library was used to evaluate the quality of included RCTs. RevMan 5.4 software was used for data analysis. Results A total of eight RCTs involving 823 tube-fed patients were included in this meta-analysis. A synthesized outcome indicated that semi-solid feeds reduced the incidence of diarrhea (RR = 0.32, 95%CI:0.20-0.50, P < 0.001), vomiting (RR = 0.31, 95%CI:0.15-0.64, P = 0.002), abdominal distension (RR = 0.41, 95%CI:0.22-0.76, P = 0.005), length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay (MD = -3.61, 95%CI: -6.74 to -0.48, P = 0.02), and length of hospital stay (MD = -7.14, 95%CI: -10.31 to -3.97, P < 0.01) in tube-fed patients. Enteric feeding had no effect on the 30-day mortality (RR = 0.55, 95%CI: 0.19-1.56, P = 0.26). No publication bias was detected by the Egger's test results (all P > 0.05). Conclusion Semi-solid feeds are beneficial in reducing the incidence of diarrhea, abdominal distension, vomiting, and hospital stay. More high-quality studies are needed in the future to verify the effects of semi-solid feeds on mortality.

Home enteral nutrition does not decrease oral feeding in children during the first year of nutritional support. Clin Nutr 2024; 43:781-786. [PMID: 38340410 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2024.02.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Enteral nutrition is necessary when nutritional status is poor and oral intake is insufficient or impossible. Although it has been suspected to reduce spontaneous oral feeding, no study has formally assessed the influence of enteral nutrition on pediatric oral intake. The present study aimed to evaluate variation in oral feeding intake after enteral nutrition initiation, and to identify factors influencing oral feeding. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 149 pediatric patients from two French tertiary care hospitals, who received home enteral nutrition from 2009 to 2022. The patients were aged 2 months to 17 years (median age 3 years, interquartile range 1.3-9.2). Oral and enteral intakes were assessed when enteral nutrition was initiated (M0), and again at M3 (n = 123), M6 (n = 129), and M12 (n = 134) follow-ups, based on dieticians' and home services' reports. Oral feeding and body mass index z score variations during follow-ups were evaluated using a linear mixed regression model, including "time" as a fixed effect and "patient" as a random effect. Factors associated with oral feeding changes were assessed using a model interaction term. RESULTS Oral intake did not vary significantly (P = 0.99) over time and accounted for 47.4% ± 27.4%, 46.9% ± 27.4%, 48.4% ± 28.2%, and 46.6% ± 26.9% of the ideal recommended daily allowance (calculated for the ideal weight for height) at M0, M3, M6, and M12, respectively. Delivery method (nasogastric tube versus gastrostomy), prematurity, underlying disease, history of intrauterine growth retardation, and speech therapy intervention did not influence oral intake. Administration (i.e., exclusively continuous nocturnal infusion versus daytime bolus) led to different oral intake development, although oral intake also differed at M0. CONCLUSIONS Enteral nutrition, although increasing total energy intake, does not alter oral feeding during the first year of administration. Only the mode of administration might influence oral intake.

Diabetes-Specific Complete Smoothie Formulas Improve Postprandial Glycemic Response in Obese Type 2 Diabetic Individuals: A Randomized Crossover Trial. Nutrients 2024; 16:395. [PMID: 38337679 PMCID: PMC10857113 DOI: 10.3390/nu16030395] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2024] [Revised: 01/25/2024] [Accepted: 01/27/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to compare newly developed diabetes-specific complete smoothie formulas with a standard diabetes-specific nutritional formula (DSNF) regarding their effects on glucose homeostasis, insulin levels, and lipid metabolism in obese type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients. We conducted a randomized, double-blind, crossover study with 41 obese T2DM participants to compare two developed diabetes-specific complete smoothie formulas, a soy-based regular smoothie (SM) and a smoothie with modified carbohydrate content (SMMC), with the standard DSNF, Glucerna. Glycemic and insulin responses were assessed after the participants randomly consumed 300 kilocalories of each formulation on three separate days with a 7-day gap between. Postprandial effects on glycemic control, insulin levels, and lipid metabolism were measured. SMMC resulted in a significantly lower glucose area under the curve (AUC0-240) compared to Glucerna and SM (p < 0.05 for both). Insulin AUC0-240 after SMMC was significantly lower than that after SM and Glucerna (p < 0.05). During the diets, the suppression of NEFA was more augmented on SM, resulting in a less total AUC0-240 of NEFA compared to the SMMC diet (p < 0.05). C-peptide AUC0-240 after SMMC was significantly lower than that after Glucerna (p < 0.001). Conversely, glucagon AUC0-240 after SMMC was significantly higher than that after SM and Glucerna (p < 0.05). These results highlight SMMC as the better insulin-sensitive formula, potentially achieved through increased insulin secretion or a direct reduction in glucose absorption. The unique composition of carbohydrates, amino acids, and fats from natural ingredients in the smoothies may contribute to these positive effects, making them promising functional foods for managing diabetes and obesity.

Impact of daily cyclic enteral nutrition versus standard continuous enteral nutrition in critically ill patients: a study protocol for a randomised controlled trial in three intensive care units in France (DC-SCENIC). BMJ Open 2024; 14:e080003. [PMID: 38286683 PMCID: PMC10826523 DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-080003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/31/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Current guidelines on clinical nutrition of ventilated patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) recommend initiating continuous enteral nutrition within 48 hours of ICU admission when feasible. However, discontinuous feeding regimens, alternating feeding and fasting intervals, may have an impact on clinical and patient centred outcomes. The ongoing "Impact of daily cyclic enteral nutrition versus standard continuous enteral nutrition in critically ill patients" (DC-SCENIC) trial aims to compare standard continuous enteral feeding with daily cyclic enteral feeding over 10 hours to evaluate if implementing a fasting-mimicking diet can decrease organ failure in ventilated patients during the acute phase of ICU management. METHODS AND ANALYSIS DC-SCENIC is a randomised, controlled, multicentre, open-label trial comparing two parallel groups of patients 18 years of age or older receiving invasive mechanical ventilation and having an indication for enteral nutrition through a gastric tube. Enteral feeding is continuous in the control group and administered over 10 hours daily in the intervention group. Both groups receive isocaloric nutrition with 4 g of protein per 100 mL, and have the same 20 kcal/kg/day caloric target. The primary endpoint is the change in the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score at 7 days compared with the day of inclusion in the study. Secondary outcomes include daily caloric and protein delivery, digestive, respiratory and metabolic tolerance as well as 28-day mortality, duration of mechanical ventilation and ventilator-free days. Outcomes will be analysed on an intention-to-treat basis. Recruitment started in June 2023 in 3 French ICU's and a sample size of 318 patients is expected by February 2026. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study received approval from the national ethics review board on 8 November 2022 (Comité de Protection des Personnes Sud-Est VI, registration number 2022-A00827-36). Patients are included after informed consent. Results will be submitted for publication in peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05627167.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Critically ill, COVID-19 patients are characterized by a hypermetabolic state and a reduced food intake and are at high risk of malnutrition and lean body mass loss. An appropriate metabolic-nutritional intervention aims to reduce complications and improve the clinical outcomes. We conducted a cross-sectional, multicenter, observational, nationwide online survey involving Italian Intensivists to assess the nutritional practices in critically ill patients with COVID-19. RESULTS A group of experts in nutrition of the Italian Society of Anaesthesia Analgesia Resuscitation and Intensive Care (SIAARTI) developed a 24-item questionnaire; the 9000 members of the Society were invited to participate through emails and social networks. Data was collected from June 1 to August 1, 2021. A total of 545 responses were collected: 56% in northern, 25% in central, and 20% in southern Italy. Artificial nutrition support is directly handled by intensivists in > 90 of the cases; the nutritional status is assessed as suggested by the guidelines in more than 70% of the cases, and a form of nutrition support is started within the first 48 h from ICU admission by > 90% of the respondents. Nutritional targets are reached in 4-7 days in > 75% of the cases, mainly by the enteral route. Indirect calorimetry, muscle ultrasound, and bioimpedance analysis are used by a limited part of the interviewees. Only about a half of the respondents reported the nutritional issues in the ICU discharge summary. CONCLUSIONS This survey among Italian Intensivists during the COVID-19 epidemic showed how the beginning, progression, and route of nutritional support adhere to international recommendations, while recommendations on the tools to set the target and monitor the efficacy of the metabolic support are less followed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Continuous Enteral Nutrition (CEN) remains standard practice in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) worldwide. Intermittent Enteral Nutrition (IEN) may be a suitable alternative method. This meta-analysis aims to investigate the safety, tolerance, and effectiveness of IEN compared to CEN in critically ill adults in the ICU. METHODS Medline, CINAHL, Scopus, Embase and Google Scholar were searched for studies published up until 30th April 2020, along with manual searches in bibliographies. Eligible studies were trials that compared CEN versus IEN feeding in the ICU, and reported on at least one of the relevant outcomes - nutritional intake, gastric residual volume (GRV), aspiration pneumonia, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal distension, glycemic variability. Secondary outcomes were ICU length of stay (LOS) and mortality. The Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials was used to assess methodological quality. RESULTS Ten studies with 664 participants were included in the meta-analysis. The majority of studies had an overall 'High' risk of bias. Incidence of vomiting was significantly higher in CEN as compared to IEN groups (Risk Ratio 2.76; 95% CI, 1.23 - 6.23). There were no significant differences between CEN and IEN groups for nutritional intake, GRV, the incidence of aspiration pneumonia, diarrhea, abdominal distension, ICU LOS, and mortality. Definition and reporting of outcome measures were not standardized across studies, hence this heterogeneity limits generalisability of results. CONCLUSION Overall, the safety, tolerance, and effectiveness of CEN and IEN were found to be comparable. Future studies should explore monitoring larger sample sizes to determine best feeding practices in ICU. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Clin Nutr 2021; 40:5122-5132. [PMID: 34461586 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2021.07.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2021] [Revised: 07/21/2021] [Accepted: 07/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
Although evidence for the superiority of continuous feeding over intermittent feeding is lacking, in most paediatric intensive care units (PICU) artificial feeding is administered continuously for 24 h per day. Until now, studies in PICU on intermittent feeding have primarily focused on surrogate endpoints such as nutritional intake and gastro-intestinal complaints and none have studied the effects of an extended fasting period. Intermittent fasting has been proven to have many health benefits in both animal and human studies. The observed beneficial effects are based on multiple metabolic and endocrine changes that are presumed crucial in critical illness as well. One key element is the transition to ketone body metabolism, which, among others, contributes to the stimulation of several cellular pathways involved in stress resistance (neuro)plasticity and mitochondrial biogenesis, and might help preserve brain function. Secondly, the fasting state stimulates the activation of autophagy, a process that is crucial for cellular function and integrity. Of the different intermittent fasting strategies investigated, time-restricted feeding with a daily extended fasting period appears most feasible in the PICU. Moreover, planning the fasting period overnight could help maintain the circadian rhythm. Although not investigated, such an overnight intermittent fasting strategy might improve the metabolic profile, feeding tolerance and perhaps even have beneficial effects on tissue repair, reperfusion injury, muscle weakness, and the immune response. Future studies should investigate practical implications in critically ill children and the optimal duration of the fasting periods, which might be affected by the severity of illness and by age.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review the mechanisms how intermittent feeding regimens could be beneficial in critically ill patients. RECENT FINDINGS Large randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have failed to demonstrate consistent benefit of early, enhanced nutritional support to critically ill patients, and some trials even found potential harm. Although speculative, the absence of a clear benefit could be explained by the continuous mode of feeding in these trials, since intermittent feeding regimens had health-promoting effects in healthy animals and humans through mechanisms that also appear relevant in critical illness. Potential protective mechanisms include avoidance of the muscle-full effect and improved protein synthesis, improved insulin sensitivity, better preservation of circadian rhythm, and fasting-induced stimulation of autophagy and ketogenesis. RCTs comparing continuous versus intermittent feeding regimens in critically ill patients have shown mixed results, albeit with different design and inclusion of relatively few patients. In all studies, the fasting interval was relatively short (4-6 h maximum), which may be insufficient to develop a full fasting response and associated benefits. SUMMARY These findings open perspectives for the design and clinical validation of intermittent feeding regimens for critically ill patients. The optimal mode and duration of the fasting interval, if any, remain unclear.
