Key Points

The aim is to quantify the incidence of gastric retention in patients receiving enteral nutrition and to identify significant influencing factors.
Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies on gastric retention and enteral nutrition.
Searched multiple databases for studies published up to May 18, 2025.
Utilized RevMan 5.4 software for meta-analysis of 14 studies involving 2642 patients.
The meta-analysis revealed a 32.0% incidence of gastric retention among participants.
Identified 19 factors influencing gastric retention, including early initiation of enteral nutrition (OR = 0.37) and probiotics use (OR = 0.22).
Findings aid clinicians in identifying high-risk patients and devising targeted strategies.
