Abstract
Background and objectives: Gastric tube feeding and postpyloric tube feeding are two common forms of enteral nutrition in critically ill patients. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of gastric tube feeding with that of postpyloric tube feeding in critically ill patients.
Methods and study design: PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched for eligible trials from their inception until March 2023. Relative risks (RRs) or weighted mean differences (WMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to estimate categorical and continuous outcomes using the random-effects model.
Results: Sixteen trials involving 1,329 critically ill patients were selected for the final meta-analysis. Overall, we noted that gastric tube feeding showed no significant difference from post-pyloric tube feeding in mortality (p = 0.891), whereas the risk of pneumonia was significantly increased in patients who received gastric tube feeding (RR: 1.45; p = 0.021). Furthermore, we noted that gastric tube feeding was associated with a shorter time required to start feeding (WMD: -11.05; p = 0.007).
Conclusions: This research revealed that initiating feeding through the gastric tube required less time compared to postpyloric tube feeding. However, it was also associated with a heightened risk of pneumonia among critically ill patients.
期刊介绍：
The aims of the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition
(APJCN) are to publish high quality clinical nutrition relevant research findings which can build the capacity of
clinical nutritionists in the region and enhance the practice of human nutrition and related disciplines for health
promotion and disease prevention. APJCN will publish
original research reports, reviews, short communications
and case reports. News, book reviews and other items will
also be included. The acceptance criteria for all papers are
the quality and originality of the research and its significance to our readership. Except where otherwise stated,
manuscripts are peer-reviewed by at least two anonymous
reviewers and the Editor. The Editorial Board reserves the
right to refuse any material for publication and advises
that authors should retain copies of submitted manuscripts
and correspondence as material cannot be returned. Final
