Early reduction in gut microbiota diversity in critically ill patients is associated with mortality
Gut microbiota diversity decreased over time, associated with increased mortality. Fecal pH is an unreliable marker of gut microbiota change. Future studies on gut microbiota and related biomarkers should focus on the initial days in the intensive care unit to detect and mitigate a decline in gut microbiota diversity.
