Association between Gastrointestinal Dysfunction Score (GIDS) and disease severity and prognosis in critically ill patients: A prospective, observational study.

Objectives: Recently, the Gastrointestinal Dysfunction Score (GIDS) was developed for use with critically ill patients. This study evaluated the association of GIDS with disease severity and clinical outcomes to assess the technical feasibility of using GIDS to reflect the severity and short-term prognosis of critically ill patients.

Methods: Association between Gastrointestinal Dysfunction Score (GIDS) and disease severity and prognosis in critically ill patients: A prospective, observational study.
