Incretins Predict Response to Enteral Nutrition Strategies in the EDEN Trial: A Secondary Analysis

Am J Respir Crit Care MedPublished Secondary analysis of the EDEN randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

GIP was unique among incretins in predicting HTE to enteral nutrition strategies in EDEN.

Study context

Population
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients in the EDEN trial with pre-intervention plasma samples
Participants
889 patients
Comparison
Trophic vs full enteral nutrition, by baseline incretin levels
  • Trophicn = 452
  • Fulln = 437reference
Primary endpoint
60-day mortality (HTE by interaction of treatment with circulating incretin levels)
Follow-up
60 days
Methodological detailsbiomarker analysis of heterogeneity of treatment effect, adjusted interaction analysis
  • Biomarker analysis of heterogeneity of treatment effect
  • Adjusted interaction analysis

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

60-day mortality, highest GIP tertile
GIP predicted heterogeneity of treatment effect (HTE) to enteral nutrition strategies (adjusted interaction p-value)
0.01

Further findings

GLP-1, ARDS subphenotypes, and baseline risk of mortality did not predict HTE
