Development and validation of a predictive model for diarrhea in ICU patients with enteral nutrition.

Background: The aim of this study was to build and validate a risk prediction model for diarrhea in patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) receiving enteral nutrition (EN) by identifying risk factors for diarrhea in these patients.

Methods: The risk factors for diarrhea were analyzed to build a prediction model for EN diarrhea in patients in the ICU based on the data collected from 302 patients receiving EN in the ICU. Subsequently, the model was validated by the area under the curve.
