Description
Summary:This prospective study investigates the incidence, risk factors, biological markers, and predictors of acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) in patients with stroke. The study involved a total of 98 patients with acute cerebrovascular disease were included. According to the ESICM, the definition of AGI in intensive care patients is classified as grade 0, I, II and III. Patients’ demographics, serological indicators (e.g., urea nitrogen, albumin, D-lactate, α-GST, neutrophil count and lymphocyte count), relevant scores (NIHSS score, GCS score, APACHE II score), length of hospital stay as well as the 7-day and 28-day mortality were recorded. In 98 patients, the incidence of AGI was 90.8 %. The APACHE II, NIHSS, GCS and Hs-mGPS scores significantly increased the odds of a higher AGI grade (P
