Description
Nurhayat Ulema and co-authors compare feeding routes in stroke patients in intensive care in a 2026 study. After a major stroke, gut barrier harm and brain inflammation seem linked, but how the feeding route shapes them was unclear. Seventy-three patients were fed either through the gut or by vein, as their doctors chose.
Blood markers of gut leak and of inflammation were read on arrival and on day seven. In gut-fed patients both markers drifted down, while in vein-fed patients both rose. By day seven, higher marker levels tracked with worse stroke severity scores. Adjusted analysis confirmed the route changed the markers' paths. The authors favour gut feeding where guidelines allow.
