Hot Off the Press: 2025 ELSO Consensus Statement for the Provision and Management of Nutrition Therapy in Critically Ill Adult Patients Requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
This consensus statement set out to address key questions of interest put forward by a group of international experts convened by the ELSO. A systematic literature review was undertaken, and recommendations were developed accordingly, with the overall aim to better inform nutrition practice in adults receiving ECMO.
This systematic literature review examined how RCTs prescribing liraglutide, semaglutide, or tirzepatide assessed and reported dietary intake and quality as outcome measures, alongside weight loss and/or glycemic control, and identified gaps in the use and methodological quality of dietary assessment methods.
BOTTOM LINE: Only 2/41 studies (≈5%) reported or assessed dietary intake or evaluated diet changes secondary to GLP-1/GIP RA medication use. This review highlights a major gap in the evidence requiring urgent attention. More high-quality research, using validated dietary assessment methods as outcome measures in RCTs is needed to understand how these medications impact diet and diet quality, nutrient intake, and chronic disease risk.
Hot Off the Press: Management of Patients with Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction and Altered (Reduced) Food Intake Behaviour
This guideline, supported by AuSPEN, is intended to support adult and paediatric health care professionals (with a special focus on multiprofessional teams working with gastroenterologists) in providing appropriate and consistent care for these patients with DGBI-induced food intake behaviour.
