Objective To systematically review the predictors of enteral nutrition feeding intolerance in critically ill patients. Methods The PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP and CBM databases were searched to collect relevant observational studies from the inception to 6 August, 2022. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using RevMan 5.4 software. Results A total of 18 studies were included, including 28 847 patients. The results of the meta-analysis showed that gender, age, severity of illness, hypo-albuminemia, length of stay, postpyloric feeding, mechanical ventilation and mechanical ventilation time, use of prokinetics, use of sedation drugs, use of vasoactive drugs and use of antibiotics were predictors of enteral nutrition feeding intolerance in critically ill patients, among which postpyloric feeding (OR=0.46, 95%CI 0.29 to 0.71, P<0.01) was a protective factor. Conclusion According to the influencing factors, the medical staff can formulate a targeted enteral nutrition program at the time of admission to the ICU to reduce the occurrence of feeding intolerance. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
