Multicenter Study Observational StudyAssociation between acute gastrointestinal injury grading system and disease severity and prognosis in critically ill patients: A multicenter, prospective, observational study in China.
This prospective study investigated the association between disease severity and acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) grade and between prognosis and AGI. ⋯ Differentiating AGI as gastrointestinal dysfunction or gastrointestinal failure appears to be more valid for predicting prognosis than the AGI 4-grade system.
