Effects of permissive hypocaloric vs standard enteral feeding on gastrointestinal function and outcomes in sepsis

Figure 1 Flow diagram of the participants.

Figure 2 Comparisons of acute gastrointestinal injury grades (A), days to goal calorie (B), and actual daily caloric intake (C) among the three groups. ^aP < 0.05, ^cP < 0.001. AGI: Acute gastrointestinal injury.

Figure 3 Comparisons of serum levels of diamine oxidase (A), D-lactate (B), and intestinal fatty acid binding protein (C) among the three groups. ^aP < 0.05. DAO: Diamine oxidase; iFABP: Intestinal fatty acid binding protein.

Figure 4 Comparisons of serum levels of albumin (A), prealbumin (B), IL-6 (C), and IL-10 (D) among the three groups. ^aP < 0.05, ^bP < 0.01.

Figure 5 No significant differences in the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II scores (A), sequential organ failure assessment scores (B), or survival probability within 28 d (C) were found among the three groups. APACHEII: Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II; SOFA: Sequential organ failure assessment.
