Abstract
AIM To assess the risks, benefits, and resource implications of home-blended food for children with gastrostomy tubes compared with a formula diet. METHOD This prospective cohort study of children (aged 0-18 years) collected baseline data on gastrointestinal symptoms, nutritional intake, anthropometric outcomes, parent and child quality of life, and resource use. A propensity score-weighted generalized linear mixed model was used to compare children receiving a home-blended versus formula diet. RESULTS Baseline data were obtained for 180 children (2019-2021; 107 males, 73 females; mean age 9 years 7 months [SD 4 years 5 months]). Children receiving a home-blended diet (n = 104) had similar diagnoses and age but more lived in areas of lower deprivation and parental education was higher compared to the parents of children receiving a formula diet (n = 76). Children receiving home-blended diets had significantly better gastrointestinal scores than those receiving formula diets (B = 13.8, p < 0.001). The number of gut infections and tube blockages were similar between the two groups but with fewer stoma site infections in the group receiving home-blended food. Children receiving a home-blended diet had more fibre in their diet compared to children receiving a formula diet. INTERPRETATION Home-blended diets should be seen as a safe option for children who are gastrostomy-fed unless clinically contraindicated. Equality of access to home-blended diets for children with gastrostomy should be assessed by local clinical teams. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS Children with gastrostomy receiving a home-blended diet had fewer gastrointestinal symptoms compared to children receiving a formula diet. Children with gastrostomy receiving a home-blended diet had no more complications than children receiving a formula diet.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Deficiencies of citrulline and arginine have been associated with adverse outcomes in preterm-infants and data regarding enteral supplementation in preterm infants is limited. STUDY DESIGN This randomized -trial [NCT03649932] included 42 preterm infants (gestational age ≤33 weeks) randomized to receive enteral L-citrulline in low (100 mg/kg/day), medium (200 mg/kg/day) and high-dose (300 mg/kg/day) groups for 7 days. Plasma citrulline and arginine levels were obtained pre-and-post supplementation and efficacy was determined by a significant increase in levels after supplementation. A p < 0.05 was considered significant. Safety monitoring included blood-pressure-monitoring as well as complications and death during hospitalization. RESULTS A total of 40/42 (95%) of the recruits completed the 7-day supplementation with no adverse events. Plasma-citrulline levels increased significantly in all three groups while plasma-arginine levels increased significantly in the high-dose group. CONCLUSION Enteral L-citrulline supplementation in preterm infants is safe and effective in increasing plasma citrulline and arginine levels.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop a consensus guideline to meet nutritional challenges faced by infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). STUDY DESIGN The CDH Focus Group utilized a modified Delphi method to develop these clinical consensus guidelines (CCG). Topic leaders drafted recommendations after literature review and group discussion. Each recommendation was sent to focus group members via a REDCap survey tool, and members scored on a Likert scale of 0-100. A score of > 85 with no more than 25% outliers was designated a priori as demonstrating consensus among the group. RESULTS In the first survey 24/25 recommendations received a median score > 90 and after discussion and second round of surveys all 25 recommendations received a median score of 100. CONCLUSIONS We present a consensus evidence-based framework for managing parenteral and enteral nutrition, somatic growth, gastroesophageal reflux disease, chylothorax, and long-term follow-up of infants with CDH.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article provides a literature update on original articles published in the past 18 months (May 2022-November 2023) in the dietary management of paediatric Crohn's disease. RECENT FINDINGS There is more data to support the use of exclusive enteral nutrition in the management of active Crohn's disease in children. Several food-based dietary therapies have been proposed for the management of Crohn's disease. There is an interest in precision nutritional therapy in Crohn's disease, but current data are scarce. SUMMARY Exclusive enteral nutrition is an effective treatment for paediatric Crohn's disease. Predictors of response to exclusive enteral nutrition include mild disease phenotype and ileal disease involvement, although data remain inconclusive. Adherence to exclusive enteral nutrition is cornerstone to its efficacy. Treatment with exclusive enteral nutrition modifies the gut microbiome, modulates bile acid metabolism and has significant effects on host immune responses. More studies are expected in which drugs need to be combined with dietary therapies and microbial therapeutics. The efficacy of Crohn's disease exclusion diet coupled with partial enteral nutrition is supported by independent studies, but tolerance remains an issue, particularly for long-term disease management. More research is anticipated in precision nutritional therapy in paediatric Crohn's disease, but currently no recommendations can be made.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) results in several complications and mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Limited studies have investigated the effect of enteral nutrition (EN) on the survival of COVID-19 patients in the ICU. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of EN with biochemical and pathological indices associated with mortality in ICU patients with COVID-19. METHODS This case-control study was conducted on 240 patients with COVID-19 hospitalized in the ICU including 120 eventual nonsurvived as the cases and 120 survived patients as the controls. All of the patients received EN as a high protein high volume or standard formula. Data on general information, anthropometric measurements, and the results of lab tests were collected. RESULTS The recovered patients received significantly more high protein (60.8% vs. 39.6%, p = .004) and high volume (61.6% vs. 42.3%, p = .005) formula compared to the nonsurvived group. Mortality was inversely associated with high volume (odds ratio [OR]: 0.45 confidence interval [CI]95%, p = .008) and high protein (OR: 0.42 CI95%, p = .003) formula. The results remained significant after adjusting for age and sex. Further adjustment for underlying diseases, smoking, body mass index, and the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) score did not change the results. CONCLUSION The findings of the study showed that there was a significant inverse association between mortality and high volume and high protein formula in patients with COVID-19. Further investigation is warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Enteral feeding tubes are used in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) to assess feeding tolerance by utilizing preprandial gastric residual aspiration. This study evaluates the effect of gastric residual aspiration on the preterm infant fecal microbiome and gastrointestinal inflammation. STUDY DESIGN Fifty-one very low birth weight (VLBW) infants (≤32 weeks' gestational age and ≤1,250 g) enrolled in a larger single-center randomized controlled trial evaluating the effects of routine and nonroutine gastric residual aspiration were selected for further analysis. Of those infants, 30 had microbiome analysis performed on stools collected at 6 weeks by sequencing the bacterial V1 to V3 variable regions of the genes encoding for 16S rRNA. In an additional 21 infants, stool samples collected at 3 and 6 weeks were analyzed for intestinal inflammation using a cytokine multiplex panel. RESULTS Microbial communities between groups were not distinct from each other and there was no difference in intestinal inflammation between groups. Analyses using gene expression packages DESeq2 and edgeR produced statistically significant differences in several taxa, possibly indicating a more commensal intestinal microbiome in infants not undergoing gastric residual aspiration. CONCLUSION Omission of routine gastric residual aspiration was not associated with intestinal dysbiosis or inflammation, providing additional evidence that monitors preprandial gastric residuals is unnecessary. KEY POINTS · Omission of routine gastric residual aspiration was not associated with intestinal dysbiosis or inflammation.. · Existing literature indicates preprandial gastric aspiration does not reliably correlate with development of necrotizing enterocolitis but does correlate with delayed enteral nutrition.. · Further study is required but this data that suggest monitoring preprandial gastric residuals are unnecessary..

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Patients treated for oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) have historically demonstrated high feeding tube rates for decreased oral intake and malnutrition. We re-examined feeding tube practices in these patients. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective analysis of prospective cohort from 2015 to 2021. SETTING Single-institution NCI-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. METHODS With IRB approval, patients with new oropharyngeal squamous cell cancer or (unknown primary with neck metastasis) were enrolled. Baseline swallowing was assessed via videofluoroscopy and Performance Status Scale for Head and Neck Cancer (PSSHN). G-tubes or nasogastric tubes (NGT) were placed for weight loss before, during, or after treatment. Prophylactic NGT were placed during transoral robotic surgery (TORS). Tube duration was censored at last disease-free follow-up. Multivariate regression was performed for G-tube placement (odds ratio [OR] [95% confidence interval [CI]) and removal (Cox hazard ratio, hazard ratio [HR] [95% CI]). RESULTS Of 924 patients, most had stage I to II (81%), p16+ (89%), node-positive (88%) disease. Median follow-up was 2.6 years (interquartile range 1.5-3.9). Most (91%) received radiation/chemoradiation, and 16% received TORS. G-tube rate was 27% (5% after TORS). G-tube risk was increased with chemoradiation (OR 2.78 [1.87-4.22]) and decreased with TORS (OR 0.31 [0.15-0.57]) and PSSHN-Diet score ≥60 (OR 0.26 [0.15-0.45]). G-tube removal probability over time was lower for T3 to T4 tumors (HR 0.52 [0.38-0.71]) and higher for PSSHN-Diet score ≥60 (HR 1.65 [1.03-2.66]). CONCLUSIONS In this modern cohort of patients treated for OPC, 27% received G-tubes-50% less than institutional rates 10 years ago. Patients with preserved baseline swallowing and/or those eligible for TORS may have lower G-tube risk and duration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most moderate-to-late-preterm infants need nutritional support until they are feeding exclusively on their mother's breast milk. Evidence to guide nutrition strategies for these infants is lacking. METHODS We conducted a multicenter, factorial, randomized trial involving infants born at 32 weeks 0 days' to 35 weeks 6 days' gestation who had intravenous access and whose mothers intended to breast-feed. Each infant was assigned to three interventions or their comparators: intravenous amino acid solution (parenteral nutrition) or dextrose solution until full feeding with milk was established; milk supplement given when maternal milk was insufficient or mother's breast milk exclusively with no supplementation; and taste and smell exposure before gastric-tube feeding or no taste and smell exposure. The primary outcome for the parenteral nutrition and the milk supplement interventions was the body-fat percentage at 4 months of corrected gestational age, and the primary outcome for the taste and smell intervention was the time to full enteral feeding (150 ml per kilogram of body weight per day or exclusive breast-feeding). RESULTS A total of 532 infants (291 boys [55%]) were included in the trial. The mean (±SD) body-fat percentage at 4 months was similar among the infants who received parenteral nutrition and those who received dextrose solution (26.0±5.4% vs. 26.2±5.2%; adjusted mean difference, -0.20; 95% confidence interval [CI], -1.32 to 0.92; P = 0.72) and among the infants who received milk supplement and those who received mother's breast milk exclusively (26.3±5.3% vs. 25.8±5.4%; adjusted mean difference, 0.65; 95% CI, -0.45 to 1.74; P = 0.25). The time to full enteral feeding was similar among the infants who were exposed to taste and smell and those who were not (5.8±1.5 vs. 5.7±1.9 days; P = 0.59). Secondary outcomes were similar across interventions. Serious adverse events occurred in one infant. CONCLUSIONS This trial of routine nutrition interventions to support moderate-to-late-preterm infants until full nutrition with mother's breast milk was possible did not show any effects on the time to full enteral feeding or on body composition at 4 months of corrected gestational age.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the frequency of dysphagia in patients with ischaemic stroke. It was crucial to evaluate the relationship between swallowing disorders and selected demographic and clinical indicators. Additionally, the association between various patient feeding methods and selected demographic and clinical factors was assessed. Based on the analysis of medical documentation, we identified the most important clinical parameters, including demographic data, the frequency of stroke risk factors, the location of the ischaemic lesion, cortical involvement, stroke severity as measured by the NIHSS (Nationale Institutes of Health Stroke Scale), and the methods of feeding post-stroke patients. Dysphagia was observed in 65.9% of the patients in the study group. Hypertension was the most common chronic illness in the studied population of ischemic stroke patients (91.8% of patients). Diet modification (35.7%) and PEG (25%) were the frequent methods of feeding in patients with confirmed dysphagia. Age played a significant role in determining the feeding methods in patients with dysphagia. Patients with a PEG (Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy) tube were the oldest (79.37 ± 10.80) and 75% of them had pneumonia. Early identification of swallowing difficulties in stroke patients is critical in determining an appropriate and safe feeding plan, as well as initiating logopedics therapy to improve swallowing efficacy and minimize pulmonary complications.

Abstract
Medication administration via enteral feeding tubes (EFT) is a necessary practice for patients unable to swallow oral dosage forms due to a medical condition or treatment that affects the ability to swallow or the function of the gastrointestinal tract. Off-label administration of oral drug products via EFT raises concerns for pharmaceutical sponsors, regulators, and healthcare practitioners (HCPs) because of the potential risks this practice introduces to both the patient and the caregiver. These risks can be mitigated by generating data-supported instructions that patients and HCPs can use to ensure safe and accurate administration of oral drug products via EFT. This commentary presents an industry perspective on the testing that should be conducted to enable development of product-specific instructions in the labeling to support or advise against administration of oral drug products via enteral feeding tube. The proposal outlined in this commentary takes a risk-based approach, addressing recommendations from both regulatory agencies as well as considerations for expanding this testing to address needs specific to neonatal and pediatric populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) supplementation of the standard of care (SOC) augments steroid responsiveness in patients with acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC). EEN is known to alter gut microbial composition. The present study investigates EEN-driven gut microbial alterations in patients with ASUC and examines their correlations with clinical parameters. METHODS Stool samples from patients with ASUC (n = 44) who received either EEN-supplemented SOC (EEN group; n = 20) or SOC alone (SOC group; n = 24) for 7 days were collected at baseline (day 0) and postintervention (day 7). Microbiome analysis was carried out using 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing followed by data processing using QIIME2 and R packages. RESULTS Seven-day EEN-conjugated corticosteroid therapy in patients with ASUC enhanced the abundances of beneficial bacterial genera Faecalibacterium and Veillonella and reduced the abundance of Sphingomonas (generalized linear model fitted with Lasso regularization with robustness of 100%), while no such improvements in gut microbiota were observed in the SOC group. The EEN-associated taxa correlated with the patient's clinical parameters (serum albumin and C-reactive protein levels). Unlike the SOC group, which retained its preintervention core microbiota, EEN contributed Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, a beneficial gut bacterial taxon, to the gut microbial core. EEN responders showed enhancement of Ligilactobacillus and Veillonella and reduction in Prevotella and Granulicatella. Analysis of baseline gut microbiota showed relative enhancement of certain microbial genera being associated with corticosteroid response and baseline clinical parameters and that this signature could conceivably be used as a predictive tool. CONCLUSIONS Augmentation of clinical response by EEN-conjugated corticosteroid therapy is accompanied by beneficial gut microbial changes in patients with ASUC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a major complication affecting the survival rate and long-term outcomes of preterm infants. A large, prospective, multicenter cohort study was conducted to evaluate early nutritional support during the first week of life for preterm infants with a gestational age < 32 weeks and to verify nutritional risk factors related to BPD development. METHODS A prospective multicenter cohort study of very preterm infants was conducted in 40 tertiary neonatal intensive care units across mainland China between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2021. Preterm infants who were born at a gestational age < 32 weeks, < 72 h after birth and had a respiratory score > 4 were enrolled. Antenatal and postnatal information focusing on nutritional parameters was collected through medical systems. Statistical analyses were also performed to identify BPD risk factors. RESULTS The primary outcomes were BPD and severity at 36 weeks postmenstrual age. A total of 1410 preterm infants were enrolled in this study. After applying the exclusion criteria, the remaining 1286 infants were included in this analysis; 614 (47.7%) infants were in the BPD group, and 672 (52.3%) were in the non-BPD group. In multivariate logistic regression model, the following six factors were identified of BPD: birth weight (OR 0.99, 95% CI 0.99-0.99; p = 0.039), day of full enteral nutrition (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.02-1.04; p < 0.001), parenteral protein > 3.5 g/kg/d during the first week (OR 1.65, 95% CI 1.25-2.17; p < 0.001), feeding type (formula: OR 3.48, 95% CI 2.21-5.49; p < 0.001, mixed feed: OR 1.92, 95% CI 1.36-2.70; p < 0.001; breast milk as reference), hsPDA (OR 1.98, 95% CI 1.44-2.73; p < 0.001), and EUGR ats 36 weeks (OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.02-1.91; p = 0.035). CONCLUSIONS A longer duration to achieve full enteral nutrition in very preterm infants was associated with increased BPD development. Breastfeeding was demonstrated to have a protective effect against BPD. Early and rapidly progressive enteral nutrition and breastfeeding should be promoted in very preterm infants. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (No. ChiCTR2000030125 on 24/02/2020) and in www.ncrcch.org (No. ISRCTN84167642 on 25/02/2020).

Abstract
Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) is effective in inducing remission in pediatric Crohn disease (CD). EEN alters the intestinal microbiome, but precise mechanisms are unknown. We hypothesized that pre-diagnosis diet establishes a baseline gut microbiome, which then mediates response to EEN. We analyzed prospectively recorded food frequency questionnaires (FFQs) for pre-diagnosis dietary patterns. Fecal microbiota were sequenced (16SrRNA) at baseline and through an 18-month follow-up period. Dietary patterns, Mediterranean diet adherence, and stool microbiota were associated with EEN treatment outcomes, disease flare, need for anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α therapy, and long-term clinical outcomes. Ninety-eight patients were included. Baseline disease severity and microbiota were associated with diet. Four dietary patterns were identified by FFQs; a "mature diet" high in fruits, vegetables, and fish was linked to increased baseline microbial diversity, which was associated with fewer disease flares (p < 0.05) and a trend towards a delayed need for anti-TNF therapy (p = 0.086). Baseline stool microbial taxa were increased (Blautia and Faecalibacterium) or decreased (Ruminococcus gnavus group) with the mature diet compared to other diets. Surprisingly, a "pre-packaged" dietary pattern (rich in processed foods) was associated with delayed flares in males (p < 0.05). Long-term pre-diagnosis diet was associated with outcomes of EEN therapy in pediatric CD; diet-microbiota and microbiota-outcome associations may mediate this relationship.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The elemental diet (ED) is a formula to support nutritional status without increasing chylous burden. This study evaluates the efficacy of early ED feeding after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective phase II study of consecutive patients who underwent PD with early ED feeding was conducted. Patient backgrounds, surgical outcomes, and ED feeding tolerability were compared with a historical cohort of 74 PD patients with early enteral feeding of a low residue diet (LRD). RESULTS The ED group comprised 104 patients. No patient in the ED group discontinued enteral feeding because of chylous ascites (CAs), whereas 17.6% of the LRD group experienced refractory CAs that disrupted further enteral feeding. The CAs rate was significantly decreased in the ED group compared with the LRD group (3.9% and 48.7%, respectively; P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the incidence of major complications (ED: 17.3%, LRD: 18.9%; P = 0.844). Postoperative prognostic nutritional index was similar between the 2 groups ( P = 0.764). In multivariate analysis, enteral feeding formula, and sex were independent risk factors for CAs (LRD: P < 0.001, odds ratio, 22.87; female: P = 0.019, odds ratio, 2.78). CONCLUSIONS An ED reduces postoperative CAs of patients undergoing PD in the setting of early enteral feeding.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the effect of lullabies and classical music on preterm neonates' cerebral oxygenation, vital signs, and comfort during orogastric (OG) tube feeding. METHODS This was a parallel-group pretest-posttest randomized controlled study. The research was conducted between December 2020 and May 2022. The sample consisted of 51 preterm neonates hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Selçuk University Faculty of Medicine Hospital in Konya, Türkiye. Participants were randomized into three groups (17 preterm infants in each group). The first group listened to lullabies sung by their mothers and the second group listened to classical music during OG tube feeding. The control group received routine care with no music. Data were collected using a Neonatal Identification Information Form, Physiological Parameters and rSO2 Monitoring Form, and the Newborn Comfort Behavior Scale (Comfort-Neo). The study was registered on the ClinicalTrials database (NCT05333575). RESULTS The lullaby group had stable peak heart rates and oxygen saturation levels (p = .002). Both lullaby and classical music groups had significantly higher cerebral oxygenation levels than the control group. The classical music group had the highest cerebral oxygenation level (p = .001). Both lullaby and classical music groups had significantly higher mean Comfort-Neo scores than the control group. The classical music group had the highest mean Comfort-Neo score (p = .040). CONCLUSION Preterm neonates who listen to lullabies and classical music are likely to have higher cerebral oxygen and comfort levels. Listening to lullabies helps stabilize vital signs. These results suggest that healthcare professionals should encourage parents to get their preterm neonates to listen to lullabies and classical music.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Early enteral nutrition (EN) is a nutritional strategy for reducing the incidence of in-hospital infections. However, the benefits of early EN, under targeted temperature management (TTM) in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), remain unclear. We aimed to evaluate the effect of early EN on the infective complications of OHCA patients who underwent TTM. METHODS We retrospectively searched the clinical databases of two adult emergency tertiary referral hospitals in southern Taiwan and identified patients admitted for OHCA who underwent TTM between 2017 and 2022. The 85 enrolled patients were divided into two groups based on timing: early EN (EN within 48 h of admission) and delayed EN (EN > 48 h after admission). Clinical outcomes of 7-day infective complications between the two groups were analyzed. RESULTS Early EN was provided to 57 (67 %) of 85 patients and delayed EN was provided to the remaining 28 (33 %) patients. No significant differences in baseline patient characteristics were observed between the two groups. In addition, no differences in clinical outcomes were observed, except that the early EN group had a lower 7-day bacteremia rate (5.3 % vs. 26.9 %, p = 0.013). Gram-negative bacteria were the major pathogen among the 7-day infective complications. CONCLUSION In OHCA patients treated with TTM, early EN was associated with a lower 7-day bacteremia rate. Furthermore, the application of early EN in this population was well tolerated without significant adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of early isoenergetic feeding routes [early enteral nutrition (E-EN) or early supplemental parenteral nutrition (E-SPN)] on the outcome of patients undergoing major abdominal surgery is controversial. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of early isoenergetic EN compared with early isoenergetic SPN on nosocomial infections in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. METHODS This study is a secondary, post hoc analysis of data from 2 open-label randomized clinical trials. Participants were recruited from the general surgery department of 11 academic hospitals in China undergoing major abdominal surgery and with Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 score ≥3. All eligible patients were categorized into 2 groups based on their achievement of the 100% energy target on postoperative day (POD) 3: the E-EN group (n = 199) and the E-SPN group (n = 115). The primary outcome was the incidence of nosocomial infections between POD 3 and hospital discharge. RESULTS In total, 314 patients [mean (SD) age, 59.2 (11.4) y; 113 (36.0%) females] were included. Patients in the E-EN group showed no significant difference in nosocomial infections compared with those in the E-SPN group {17/199 [8.5%] compared with 10/115 [8.7%], risk difference, 0.2% [95% confidence interval (CI): -6.3, 6.6]}. The hematological nutritional status of the E-EN group showed a significant improvement at discharge compared with the E-SPN group (albumin: 38.0 ± 6.0 g/L compared with 35.5 ± 7.6 g/L; mean difference, -2.5 g/L; 95% CI: -4.0, -1.0 g/L; prealbumin: 200.0 ± 8.0 mg/L compared with 158.4 ± 38.1 mg/L; mean difference, -41.6 mg/L; 95% CI: -41.7, -36.1 mg/L). Other indicators were comparable between groups. CONCLUSION E-EN compared with isoenergetic SPN may not be associated with a reduced rate of nosocomial infection in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery, but may be associated with improved hematological nutritional status. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03115957 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03115957) and NCT03117348 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03117348).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Feeding difficulties after congenital heart surgery are a common concern for caregivers of children with CHD. Insight into the intricacies of their experience is lacking. With a better understanding, healthcare providers can continue to optimize the approach and support mechanisms for these families. This study will explore the psychosocial impacts on caregivers, define barriers to care, and identify areas to improve their care. STUDY DESIGN This mixed-methods study combined semi-structured interviews with surveys. Purposive sampling targeted caregivers of a child who underwent heart surgery and was discharged with alternative enteral feeding access. A hybrid inductive-deductive methodology was used to analyse interview transcripts. Survey scores were compared to interview content for concordance. RESULTS Fifteen interviews were conducted with socio-demographically diverse caregivers. Feeding difficulties were often identified as their greatest challenge, with the laborious feeding schedule, sleep deprivation, and tube management being common contributors. Most caregivers described feeling overwhelmed and worried. Time-intensive feeding schedules and lack of appropriate childcare options precluded caregivers' ability to work. Barriers to care included imperfect feeding education, proximity of specialist clinics, and issues with medical supply companies. Caregiver proposals for improved care addressed easing the transition home, improving emotional support mechanisms, and intensifying feeding therapy for expedited tube removal. CONCLUSION This study describes the psychosocial toll on the caregiver, typical barriers to care, and ideas for improved provision of care. These themes and ideas can be used to advance the family-centered approach to feeding difficulties after heart surgery.

Abstract
Enteral nutrition should be initiated within 24 to 48 hours of injury, starting at a trophic rate and increasing to goal rate after hemodynamic stability is achieved. The modified Nutritional Risk in the Critically Ill score can help identify patients who will benefit most from aggressive and early nutritional intervention. In the first week of critical illness, the patient should receive only 70% to 80% of estimated calories and protein should be targeted to 1.5 to 2 g/kg. Parenteral nutrition can be provided safely without increased adverse events. Peri-operative (and intra-operative) feeding has been shown to be safe in selected patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Keeping children nil by mouth until return of bowel function after intestinal anastomosis surgery is said to reduce complications. Fasting may extend up to five days, risking malnourishment and usage of parenteral nutrition. This study aims to establish the efficacy and safety of early enteral nutrition in children undergoing intestinal stoma closure. METHODOLOGY A retrospective cohort study of children aged three months to 16 years who underwent an intestinal stoma closure between 1/1/2019 and 31/12/2021 at two tertiary paediatric hospitals was undertaken. Children fed clear fluids within 24 h (EEN) were compared to those commencing feeds later (LEN). The primary outcome was length of post-operative stay (LOS) and secondary outcomes included: time to feeds; time to stool; and complications. RESULTS Of the 129 children that underwent a stoma closure, 69 met inclusion criteria: 35 (51 %) in the LEN group and 34 (49 %) in the EEN group. Children in the EEN group had a significantly shorter LOS (92.6 h vs 121.7 h, p = 0.0045). Early feeding was also associated with a significantly decreased time to free fluids (p < 0.001) and full enteral intake (p = 0.007). There was no significant intergroup difference in complications. CONCLUSION Commencing feeding within 24 h of stoma closure is efficacious and safe, with clear reductions in LOS, time to full feeds and time to stool, and no increase in complications. Further research is required to extrapolate these findings to other populations. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate patterns and determinants of longitudinal growth among children requiring complex biventricular repair for congenital heart disease, as well as to assess for associations of growth with early feeding modality, comorbidities, postoperative complications, and socioeconomic characteristics. STUDY DESIGN A single-institution retrospective cohort study was performed in children born February 1999 to March 2009 with complex congenital heart disease who underwent biventricular repair before age 4 years, defined by Risk Adjustment in Congenital Heart Surgery-1 category 3-5. Clinical characteristics, height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) from ages 2-12 years were collected by chart review. Neighborhood-level socioeconomic data were identified using a geographic information system approach. The adjusted association of covariates with growth outcomes was estimated using multivariable linear regression models using generalized estimating equations. RESULTS Compared with population growth curves, the cohort (n = 150) trended toward early decrease in age-adjusted weight and height. Early tube feeding was significantly associated with decreased BMI before adolescence (-0.539; 95% CI -1.02, -0.054; P = .029). In addition, other clinical and perioperative characteristics had significant associations with growth, including low birth weight, preoperative tube feeds, need for multiple bypass runs, and diagnosis of feeding disorder. CONCLUSIONS Early childhood growth in children with complex biventricular repair may be impaired. Early tube feeding was associated with decreased BMI over the course of early childhood, which may indicate a need for continued close nutrition follow-up and support even beyond the duration of tube feeds.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enteral nutrition (EN) therapy is a multistep process including evaluation, prescription, procurement, dispensing, labeling, administration, and monitoring. EN therapy is prone to human errors, but these are poorly defined in the literature. The purpose of this study was to audit EN administration practices to quantify errors of execution and identify which components of the EN order were labeled, administered, or documented incorrectly. METHODS On 2 nonconsecutive days, we identified all hospitalized patients with active EN orders and prospectively collected the following information: EN formula hanging/documented, formula hang time, infusion rate/documented rate (continuous EN), infused volume and documented schedule (intermittent EN), and EN modular documentation. Mismatches to the EN order were considered errors. We reviewed 1 month of hospital EN-related safety events for comparison. RESULTS Of 1045 data points collected from 160 patients, we identified 275 errors of execution: 135 labeling errors and 140 administration errors. The most common were hang time >48 h (85%), wrong number of modulars documented (48%), and wrong infusion rate (19%). We found one reported safety event (wrong formula delivered but not infused). CONCLUSION We identified a 15.9% error rate in EN order execution/documentation and 14% compliance with documentation of 48-h hang time. Errors (safety events) were grossly underreported. This highlighted several areas of opportunity to improve current EN use process, consistent with previous research on EN and oral nutrition supplement administration. Based on our findings, we plan to recommend implementation of EN barcoding at our institution, to model the familiar medication administration record.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluate the impact of a multidisciplinary guideline standardizing antibiotic duration and enteral feeding practices following medical necrotizing enterocolitis (mNEC). STUDY DESIGN For preterm infants with Bell Stage 2 A mNEC and negative blood culture, antibiotic treatment was standardized to 7 days. Trophic feeds of unfortified human milk began 72 h after resolution of pneumatosis. Feeds were advanced by 20 cc/kg/day starting on the last day of antibiotics. Primary outcomes were antibiotic days and days to full feeds, defined as 120 cc/kg/day of enteral nutrition. Secondary outcomes included central line days and length of stay (LOS). RESULTS Antibiotic duration decreased 23%. Time to start trophic feeds and time to full feeds decreased 33 and 16% respectively. Central line use dropped (98 to 72% of infants) and central line days were reduced by 59%. CONCLUSION Implementation of a mNEC QI package reduced antibiotic duration, time to full feeds, central line use and CL days.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Evaluate clinical outcomes of stroke survivors in Peru discharged with artificial nutrition via a feeding tube (FT), and explore perspectives and experiences of these patients and their caregivers. METHODS Retrospective chart review to describe the prevalence of FT placement and characteristics of patients admitted with stroke to the Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Neurológicas in Lima, Peru between January 2019 and 2021. Follow-up calls to stroke survivors discharged home with FTs or their caregivers included quantitative and qualitative questions to assess long-term outcome and explore perspectives around poststroke care and FT management. We analyzed quantitative data descriptively and applied thematic analysis to qualitative data using a consensus-driven codebook. RESULTS Of 812 hospitalized patients with stroke, 146 (18%) were discharged home with FT, all with nasogastric tubes (NGTs). Follow-up calls were performed a median of 18 months after stroke with 96 caregivers and three patients. Twenty-five patients (25%) had died, and 82% of survivors (n = 61) remained dependent for some care. Four themes emerged from interviews: (1) perceived suffering (physical, emotional, existential) associated with the NGT and stroke-related disability, often exacerbated by lack of preparedness or prognostic awareness; (2) concerns around compromised personhood and value-discordant care; (3) coping with their loved-one's illness and the caregiving role; and (4) barriers to NGT care and skill acquisition. CONCLUSION We identified a high burden of palliative and supportive needs among severe stroke survivors with NGTs and their caregivers suggesting opportunities to improve poststroke care through education, communication, and support.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Enterocutaneous fistulas (ECFs) pose a significant impact in the healthcare system, both financially and in resource utilization. Delivery of optimal care is complex and involves intensive wound care, complex nutritional delivery and multidisciplinary care teams for optimization. Recently, there have been pushes to modernize the traditional approach to ECF care to a new paradigm of protocol-based individualized delivery of care. RECENT FINDINGS There is an increased trend towards pushing enteral nutrition for the management of ECF patients. Adjuncts, including improved fistuloclysis devices, supplements and absorptive aides have challenged the conventional dogma of ECF treatment. There has also been increased focus on surgical prehabilitation and the ability to improve patient outcomes. SUMMARY ECF care is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach focused on source control, nutritional optimization with focus on enteral nutrition, wound care and prehabilitation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thickened water has been widely used in patients with dysphagia who receive oral feeding, but there is little evidence for tube-feeding patients. OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of thickened water swallow training in tube-feeding and dysphagia patients in the acute and early subacute phases of stroke. METHODS A quasi-experimental study. Hospitalised patients with acute and early subacute stroke who received tube feeding due to dysphagia were recruited from March to December 2021. Patients assigned to the intervention group (n = 23) received thickened water swallow training three times daily until the feeding tube was removed or they were discharged, and patients in the control group (n = 23) received usual care. The main outcomes were duration of tube feeding and rates of weaning at discharge. RESULTS Patients in the intervention group had a shorter tube-feeding duration (p = .046) and a higher rate of weaning at discharge (p = .017) than those in the control group. Significant interaction effects between time and group were detected regarding quality of life except for the swallowing burden dimension. CONCLUSIONS Thickened water swallow training is feasible and effective for stroke patients with tube feeding and can shorten the duration of tube feeding and improve the rates of weaning and quality of life. Healthcare providers in nonrehabilitation units should actively conduct swallowing function intervention training to maximise the potential for acute and early subacute phase rehabilitation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Feeding problems are common in children with complex medical problems or acute critical illness and enteral nutrition may be required. In certain situations, gastric tube feeding is poorly tolerated or may not be feasible. When feed intolerance persists despite appropriate adjustments to oral and gastric enteral regimens, jejunal tube feeding can be considered as an option for nutrition support. METHODS A multidisciplinary expert working group of the Australasian Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition was convened. They identified topic questions and five key areas of jejunal tube feeding in children. Literatures searches were undertaken on Pubmed, Embase, and Medline for all relevant studies, between January 2000 and September 2022 (n = 103). Studies were assessed using National Health and Medical Research Council guidelines to generate statements, which were discussed as a group, followed by voting on statements using a modified Delphi process to determine consensus. RESULTS A total of 24 consensus statements were created for five key areas: patient selection, type and selection of feeding tube, complications, clinical use of jejunal tubes, follow-up, and reassessment. CONCLUSION Jejunal tube feeding is a safe and effective means of providing nutrition in a select group of pediatric patients with complex medical needs, who are unable to be fed by gastric tube feeding. Appropriate patient selection is important as complications associated with jejunal tube feeding are not uncommon, and although mostly minor, can be significant or require tube reinsertion. All children receiving jejunal tube feeding should have multidisciplinary team assessment and follow-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is a relative lack of consensus regarding the optimal management of hyperglycemia in patients receiving continuous enteral nutrition (EN), with or without a diagnosis of diabetes. METHODS This retrospective study examined 475 patients (303 with known diabetes) hospitalized in critical care setting units in 2019 in a single center who received continuous EN. Rates of hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and glucose levels within the target range (70-180 mg/dL) were compared between patients with and without diabetes, and among patients treated with intermediate-acting (IA) biphasic neutral protamine Hagedorn 70/30, long-acting (LA) insulin, or rapid-acting insulin only. RESULTS Among those with type 2 diabetes mellitus, IA and LA insulin regimens were associated with a significantly higher proportion of patient-days in the target glucose range and fewer hyperglycemic days. Level 1 (<70 mg/dL) and level 2 (<54 mg/dL) hypoglycemia occurred rarely, and there were no significant differences in level 2 hypoglycemia frequency across the different insulin regimens. CONCLUSION Administration of IA and LA insulin can be safe and effective for those receiving insulin doses for EN-related hyperglycemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the incidence of enteral nutrition intolerance (ENI) in patients with sepsis and explore potential risk factors. METHODS A case-control study was conducted in patients with sepsis who were receiving enteral nutrition (EN) at a tertiary hospital in China. The included patients were divided into the ENI group and the non-ENI group. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the risk factors for ENI. RESULTS A total of 859 patients were included in the study. Among them, 288 (33.53%) patients experienced symptoms of ENI, including diarrhea, vomiting, bloating, and gastric retention. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation H (APACHE H) score, thoracocentesis, and usage of cardiotonic drugs (namely, inotropes) were independent predictors of the ENI. CONCLUSION The incidence of ENI is relatively high in patients with sepsis, especially in those who have higher APACHE H scores, have undergone thoracocentesis, and have received inotropes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Predicting response to exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) in active Crohn's disease (CD) could lead to therapy personalization and pretreatment optimization. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to explore the ability of pretreatment parameters to predict fecal calprotectin (FCal) levels at EEN completion in a prospective study in children with CD. METHODS In children with active CD, clinical parameters, dietary intake, cytokines, inflammation-related blood proteomics, and diet-related metabolites, metabolomics and microbiota in feces, were measured before initiation of 8 wk of EEN. Prediction of FCal levels at EEN completion was performed using machine learning. Data are presented with medians (IQR). RESULTS Of 37 patients recruited, 15 responded (FCal < 250 μg/g) to EEN (responders) and 22 did not (nonresponders). Clinical and immunological parameters were not associated with response to EEN. Responders had lesser (μmol/g) butyrate [responders: 13.2 (8.63-18.4) compared with nonresponders: 22.3 (12.0-32.0); P = 0.03], acetate [responders: 49.9 (46.4-68.4) compared with nonresponders: 70.4 (57.0-95.5); P = 0.027], phenylacetate [responders: 0.175 (0.013-0.611) compared with nonresponders: 0.943 (0.438-1.35); P = 0.021], and a higher microbiota richness [315 (269-347) compared with nonresponders: 243 (205-297); P = 0.015] in feces than nonresponders. Responders consumed (portions/1000 kcal/d) more confectionery products [responders: 0.55 (0.38-0.72) compared with nonresponders: 0.19 (0.01-0.38); P = 0.045]. A multicomponent model using fecal parameters, dietary data, and clinical and immunological parameters predicted response to EEN with 78% accuracy (sensitivity: 80%; specificity: 77%; positive predictive value: 71%; negative predictive value: 85%). Higher taxon abundance from Ruminococcaceae, Lachnospiraceae, and Bacteroides and phenylacetate, butyrate, and acetate were the most influential variables in predicting lack of response to EEN. CONCLUSIONS We identify microbial signals and diet-related metabolites in feces, which could comprise targets for pretreatment optimization and personalized nutritional therapy in pediatric CD.

Abstract
Micronutrients, including trace elements and vitamins, are essential nutrients in human metabolism. The majority of patients who need nutritional therapy have different levels of micronutrient deficiency for various reasons, which can lead to disease progression and affect clinical outcomes. In order to further standardize the application of micronutrients in medical nutrition therapy, nearly 100 experts in related fields were organized by the Chinese Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (CSPEN) to elaborate on the role and dosage of micronutrients based on the existing evidence-based medical evidence in common clinical conditions such as severe illness, surgery, burns, inflammatory bowel disease, short bowel disease, malignant tumors, chronic liver and kidney disease, elderly comorbidity, weight loss and chronic infection. Finally, 13 questions and 30 recommendations were put forward to provide reference for clinical standard application of parenteral and enteral nutrition in adult patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The merits of early enteral nutrition (EEN) in patients in the cardiothoracic intensive care unit (CTICU) remain unclear. This retrospective study aimed to address this issue. METHODS We analyzed data from the MIMIC IV v2.0 database, including patients with a CTICU stay of ≥4 d. Patients were divided into early and delayed enteral nutrition (EN) groups. Differences in baseline data were corrected using an inverse probability weighting (IPW) approach. Generalized linear models (GLMs) were used to compare trends over time between groups, and survival effects were evaluated with weighted logistic and Cox regression, supplemented by weighted Kaplan-Meier curves. Subgroup analysis facilitated the exploration of potential interactions. RESULTS The study included 720 CTICU patients. Following IPW, all baseline variables were balanced. EEN led to shorter hospital and CTICU stays, lower incidence of respiratory and blood infections, and reduced total insulin usage in the first week of CTICU admission, albeit with an increased total gastric residual volume. Mortality risk between the groups did not significantly differ at 28 d or at 1 y. Excessive early energy and protein intake elevated the risk of 28-d mortality, but the relationship may not be linear. Overweight patients or those with fewer comorbidities had a higher mortality risk with EEN. CONCLUSIONS EEN may improve short-term outcomes in CTICU patients without a clear survival benefit. Early high caloric and protein intake could lead to adverse outcomes, suggesting a careful evaluation for initiating EN in specific patients.

Abstract
People living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH) have persistent malnutrition, intestinal barrier dysfunction, and gut microbial imbalance. The interplay between gut microbiota and nutrients is involved in the immune reconstitution of PLWH. To evaluate the effects of whole-protein enteral nutrition formula supplementation on T-cell levels, intestinal barrier function, nutritional status, and gut microbiota composition in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected immunological nonresponders (INRs) who failed to normalize CD4+ T-cell counts, with a number <350 cells/µL, a pilot study was carried out in 13 HIV-infected INRs undergoing antiretroviral therapy who received a 3-month phase supplementation of 200 mL/200 kcal/45 g whole-protein enteral nutrition formula once daily. Our primary endpoint was increased CD4+ T-cell counts. Secondary outcome parameters were changes in intestinal barrier function, nutritional status, and gut microbiota composition. We showed that CD4+ T-cell counts of HIV-infected INRs increased significantly after the 3-month supplementation. Dietary supplementation for 3 months improved the intestinal barrier function and nutritional status of HIV-infected INRs. Furthermore, the enteral nutrition formula significantly decreased the relative abundance of Escherichia at the genus level and increased the alpha diversity of gut microbiota in HIV-infected INRs. The findings demonstrated that the whole-protein enteral nutrition formula aids in reducing Escherichia and improving intestinal barrier function in HIV-infected INRs. This study provides insight into the role of nutrients in the improvement of immune reconstitution in HIV-infected INRs. This study is registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (Document No. ChiCTR2000037839; http://www.chictr.org.cn/index.aspx).

Abstract
AIMS Enteral feeding is commonly used to manage a variety of medical conditions in hospitals. For people with diabetes this can present a specific challenge for glucose management. To address gaps in our understanding of modern enteral feeding outcomes and to help with the development of more specific guidance on maintaining glycaemic control, we conducted a national survey on the management of enteral feeding against the standards in the nationally adopted Joint British Diabetes Societies for Inpatient Care (JBDS) guidelines. METHODS A questionnaire was developed using the 2018 JBDS guideline as a template this questionnaire was sent out by email to all 220 UK specialist diabetes teams. Databases of Diabetes UK, the Association of British Diabetologists (ABCD) and the Diabetes Inpatient Specialist Nurse UK Group were used. RESULTS Twenty-six hospitals responded, 11 had guidelines for the management of insulin with enteral feeding. There were three main feed regimens used: continuous 24-h feeding, a single feed with one break in 24 h, or multiple feeds in 24 h. There were five regimens in common use: premixed insulin, isophane insulin, analogue basal insulin, variable rate intravenous insulin or basal bolus insulin. Overall glucose control was poor for all regimens and combinations. Continuous feed showed better glucose control than a single feed with a break, mean (±SD) glucose 12.4 mmol/L (5.6) versus 15.1 mmol/L (6.9) p < 0.005, but no group showed optimal control. CONCLUSIONS Managing diabetes control during enteral feeding remains a challenge. Our survey showed that glucose control during this treatment is suboptimal.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Metabolic disorders and no response to intravenous nutrition because of sepsis have been urgent problems for clinical nutrition support. Enteral nutrition (EN) has been an important clinical therapeutic measure in septic patients; however, simple EN has not demonstrated good performance. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different concentrations of octanoic acid (OA)-rich EN on hypercatabolism in endotoxemic rats and test whether OA-rich EN could attenuate hypercatabolism through the acylated ghrelin-proopiomelanocortin (POMC) pathway. METHODS Rats were randomly divided into six groups: sham, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), LPS + EN and LPS + EN + OA (0.25, 0.5, and 1 g/kg, respectively) groups to investigate the effects of different concentrations of OA-rich EN on hypercatabolism in endotoxemic rats. The rats were then randomly divided into four groups: sham, LPS, LPS + OA, and LPS + OA + Go-CoA-Tat, to test whether OA-rich EN attenuated hypercatabolism through the acylated ghrelin-POMC pathway. Rats received nutrition support via a gastric tube for 3 d (100 kcal/kg daily). Insulin resistance, muscle protein synthesis and atrophy, inflammatory cytokines, ghrelin in circulation and hypothalamus, ghrelin O-acyltransferase (GOAT), and the adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-autophagy-POMC pathway were measured. RESULTS Compared with simple EN, OA-rich EN promoted the acylation of ghrelin in a dose-dependent manner and attenuated POMC-mediated hypercatabolism in endotoxemic rats. Inhibition of GOAT activity decreased the level of acylated ghrelin and aggravated POMC-mediated hypercatabolism conferred by OA-rich EN. CONCLUSIONS OA-rich EN could increase the level of acylated ghrelin and attenuate hypercatabolism through the acylated ghrelin-POMC pathway compared with simple EN in endotoxemic rats.

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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The lack of a widely accepted, broadly validated tool for diagnosing malnutrition in hospitalized patients limits the ability to assess the integral role of nutrition as an input and outcome of health, disease, and treatment. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the predictive validity of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics/American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) indicators to diagnose malnutrition (AAIM) tool and determine if it can be simplified. METHODS A prospective cohort study was conducted from August 2019 to September 2022 with 32 hospitals in United States. At baseline, 290 adult patients were evaluated for a diagnosis of malnutrition using the AAIM tool, which assesses weight loss, inadequate energy intake, subcutaneous fat and muscle loss, edema, and hand grip strength. Healthcare outcomes were extracted from the medical record: composite incidence of emergency department (ED) visits and hospital readmissions within 90 d postdischarge; length of hospital stay (LOS); and Medicare Severity Disease Related Group (MS-DRG) relative weight (i.e., healthcare resource utilization). We used multilevel, multivariable negative binomial or generalized linear regression models to evaluate relationships between malnutrition diagnosis and healthcare outcomes. RESULTS After adjusting for disease severity and acuity and sociodemographic characteristics, individuals diagnosed with severe malnutrition had a higher incidence rate of ED visits and hospital readmissions (incidence rate ratio: 1.89; 95% CI: 1.14, 3.13; P = 0.01), and individuals diagnosed with moderate malnutrition had a 25.2% longer LOS (95% CI: 2.0%, 53.7%; P = 0.03) and 15.1% greater healthcare resource utilization (95% CI: 1.6%, 31.9%; P = 0.03) compared with individuals with no malnutrition diagnosis. Observed relationships remained consistent when only considering malnutrition diagnoses supported by at least 2 of these indicators: weight loss, subcutaneous fat loss, muscle wasting, and inadequate energy intake. CONCLUSIONS Findings from this multihospital study confirm the predictive validity of the original or simplified AAIM tool and support its routine use for hospitalized adult patients. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03928548 (https://classic. CLINICALTRIALS gov/ct2/show/NCT03928548).

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) with a liquid diet is the only established dietary treatment for Crohn's' disease (CD). However, the mechanism of action of EEN in CD is unclear. T helper 17 (Th17) immune response plays a critical role in CD. We hypothesized that EEN alleviates Th17 response by eliminating mechanical stress-induced expression of Th17-polarizing cytokines. METHODS A rat model of Crohn's-like colitis was established by intracolonic instillation of TNBS (65 mg/kg in 250 µL of 40% ethanol). Control rats were treated with saline. We characterized immunophenotypes and molecular changes of the colon in control and colitis rats with and without EEN treatment. Th17 differentiation was determined using coculture assays. RESULTS TNBS instillation induced transmural inflammation with stenosis in the inflammation site and a marked increase of Th17-polarizing cytokines interleukin (IL)-6 and osteopontin and the Th17 cell population in the mechanically distended preinflammation site (P-site). EEN treatment eliminated mechanical distention and the increase of IL-6, osteopontin, and Th17 response in the P-site. IL-6 and osteopontin expression was found mainly in the muscularis externa. Mechanical stretch of colonic smooth muscle cells in vitro induced a robust increase of IL-6 and osteopontin. When naïve T cells were cultured with conditioned media from the P-site tissue or stretched cells, Th17 differentiation was significantly increased. Inhibition of IL-6, but not deletion of osteopontin, blocked the increase of Th17 differentiation. CONCLUSIONS Mechanical stress induces Th17-polarizing cytokines in the colon. EEN attenuates Th17 immune response by eliminating mechanical stress-induced IL-6 in Crohn's-like colitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Managing nutrition in critically ill patients involves many medical fields. However, the nutrition management of critically ill patients has not been comprehensive enough to achieve multidisciplinary team cooperation in China and many other countries. Furthermore, there is no standardized management model or process. AIM To explore the multidisciplinary cooperative nutrition management model for critically ill patients in the ICUs in China, verify its clinical effect and provide a clinical practice reference for the nutrition management of critically ill patients. STUDY DESIGN A multidisciplinary cooperative nutrition management team, including ICU doctors, ICU nurses, clinical nutritionists, clinical pharmacists and radiologists, was established for critically ill patients. According to a literature review and domestic guidelines, the standardized process of nutritional management for critically ill patients was constructed through the Delphi expert consultation method. One hundred thirty-two patients in the ICU were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. A routine nutrition management mode, which was the nutrition management plan mainly formulated by the ICU doctor in charge only and the ICU nurses responsible for the implementation and monitoring of nutrition support, was implemented in the control group. And a multidisciplinary nutrition management mode, which was the nutrition management implemented by the multidisciplinary teams with the standardized nutrition management process for critically ill patients, was adopted in the experimental group. The early nutritional support rate, nutritional indexes (serum albumin, preprotein, haemoglobin and hs-CPR), mechanical ventilation time, ICU hospitalization days and hospitalization expenses of the two groups were compared. RESULTS The early nutritional support rates of the experimental group and the control group were 89.39% and 69.7%, respectively (χ2 = .002, p = .031). Serum albumin (35.4 vs. 33.1 g/L), preprotein (153.2 vs. 125.9 mg/L) and haemoglobin (97.5 vs. 90.6 g/L) in the experimental group were significantly higher than in the control group (p = .000, .016, .033). The days of hospitalization in the ICU of the experimental group were shorter than in the control group (5.1 vs. 7.1, p = .039). High-sensitivity C-reactive protein, the days of mechanical ventilation and ICU hospitalization expenses of the experimental group were lower than in the control group; however, the difference was not statistically significant (p = .713, .068, .489). CONCLUSIONS Because of the severity and complexity of patients' diseases, it is necessary to implement multidisciplinary nutrition management for critically ill patients. Research shows that the multidisciplinary nutrition management standardized process for critically ill patients that was constructed in this study can effectively improve nutritional indexes such as serum albumin, preprotein and haemoglobin, shorten the length of stay in the ICU and promote the rehabilitation of patients, and this process be widely used in the clinic. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE Structured multidisciplinary nutrition management operational processes can guide clinical practice. They could be widely used in the clinical nutrition management of critically ill patients in critical care units or other departments.
