Success of feeding intake was defined as feeding of more than 90% of the prescribed formula. CI, confidence interval; CT, computed tomography; OR, odds ratio; TISS, Therapeutic Intervention Score System. An odds ratio of more than 1 indicates improved success of feeding. *Compared with reference gastric tube (odds ratio of 1). †Compared with the reference standard feeding (odds ratio of 1); numbers in parentheses are kcal/protein. | ||
