Association Between Acute Gastrointestinal Injury and Mortality Risk in Critically Ill Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Key Points

To evaluate the relationship between acute gastrointestinal injury and mortality risk in critically ill patients.
Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing literature.
Analyzed data regarding mortality rates in patients with acute gastrointestinal injury.
Used standardized grading systems for GI dysfunction assessment.
Strong association found between severe acute gastrointestinal injury and increased mortality risk.
Standardized grading systems may improve early detection and management of GI dysfunction.

Abstract

Severe AGI is strongly associated with increased mortality in critically ill patients. Early recognition and assessment of GI dysfunction using standardised grading systems may facilitate risk stratification and guide clinical management.
