Early enteral nutrition linked to favorable biomarker trajectories and lower mortality risk in adult ICU sepsis patients
Early feeding helps sick patients avoid dangerous metabolic spikes
This retrospective cohort study of 3,354 adult ICU patients with sepsis at West China Hospital examined early enteral nutrition (EEN).
Starting food early in the ICU helps patients avoid dangerous metabolic spikes and lowers the risk of dying within 28 days.

Elevated pre-sepsis vitamin B12 levels associated with increased 90-day mortality in adults with sepsis
High Vitamin B12 Before Sepsis Linked to Higher Death Risk
This retrospective cohort study analyzed 37,660 adults diagnosed with sepsis using the TriNetX database.
If your vitamin B12 level is high before you get sepsis, your risk of dying from it may be significantly higher.
