Multicenter Study
The success of enteral nutrition and ICU-acquired infections: a multicenter observational study.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between increasing success with enteral nutrition (EN) and acquired infection in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). ⋯ Successful EN may be associated with a reduction in infectious complications, particularly after 96 h of ICU admission.
