| Core Tip |
This study aimed to assess the incidence of gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms associated with heatstroke and its impact on outcomes. This was a retrospective, multi-center, observational cohort study that involved patients admitted to 83 intensive care unit located in 16 cities in the Sichuan Province, China between June 1 and October 31, 2022. Results showed older heatstroke patients with a lower Glasgow coma scale score on admission were more likely to experience GI symptoms, which had statistical difference. Clinicians should pay attention to the time at which heatstroke patients started manifesting GI symptoms, as well as the duration of said symptoms, to ensure that patients are timely treated with the proper enteral therapy and have the best prognosis possible. |
