Conclusion
The present study provides the first evidence for an association between
enteral feeding with survival of ICU patients with COVID-19. According
to the findings of the study, there was a significant inverse
association between mortality and high-volume and high-protein formula.
Prospective clinical trials and cohort studies should be performed to
establish a causal relationship between enteral feeding and mortality
and survival in ICU patients with COVID-19. If the results of the
present study are confirmed in future research, it can be considered an
effective strategy to reduce the mortality rate of these patients by
recommending high-calorie and high-protein formulas to patients admitted
to the ICU.
