Description
Summary:Refeeding syndrome is a significant and potentially fatal metabolic complication that arises from the rapid provision of nutritional support during the replenishment phase in catabolic patients suffering from malnutrition.Typically, it manifests within the initial 72 h following nutritional replenishment, advances swiftly, presents a range of nonspecific clinical symptoms, and may result in elevated mortality rates.The elderly population typically experiences issues such as malnutrition and multiple comorbidities, rendering them a high-risk group for refeeding syndrome.This article examines the risk factors associated with refeeding syndrome in the elderly, aiming to assist medical professionals in the early identification of high-risk patients and enhance patient prognosis through timely and effective nutritional interventions.
