Clinical analysis of risk factors for diarrhea associated with enteral nutrition in post-craniocerebral surgery patients

Various factors contribute to the occurrence of diarrhea after receiving EN after craniocerebral surgery. A nomogram incorporating two independent predictors-lack of heating during EN infusion and absence of oral care-exhibited strong predictive ability and may serve as a useful tool for early risk assessment. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating heating protocols and maintaining oral hygiene during EN administration to reduce the risk of diarrhea and improve postoperative care outcomes.
