Core Tip	This systematic review is the first to comprehensively evaluate risk prediction models for enteral nutrition-related aspiration in critically ill adults. We identified 18 models from 12 studies, with age, Glasgow Coma Scale score, and mechanical ventilation being the most common predictors. Although most models showed acceptable discrimination, the overall risk of bias was high, primarily due to inadequate methodological conduct in the analysis domain of the Prediction model Risk of Bias Assessment Tool. Rigorous external validation and adherence to standardized reporting guidelines are urgently needed before these models can be safely implemented in clinical practice.
