Impact of early versus delayed enteral nutrition on ICU outcomes: a comparative study on mortality, ventilator dependence, and length of stay
Initiating enteral feeding within 48 h of ICU admission is associated with improved clinical outcomes, although these benefits may be influenced by individual patient factors and disease severity. Future studies should focus on tailoring enteral feeding strategies to optimize outcomes across varied ICU populations.
