Abstract
This study aimed to describe the occurrence of feeding intolerance (FI) in adult patients given enteral nutrition (EN) during the first week after liver transplant and investigate the risk factors of FI. A total of 320 adult patients were enrolled and the incidence of FI was 50.3%. There are 5 independent risk factors for FI in these patients: average EN infusion rate, length of time to initiate EN, use of mechanical ventilation, use of sedatives or analgesics, and intraoperative fluid balance. Appropriate EN regimens and clinical treatments should be taken into consideration to prevent FI for these patients.
