Patients who were on ECMO and who reached goal EN were included. Patients were excluded if they had any confounding bowel diseases at baseline, if they received ECMO for treatment of COVID-19, and if they were on parenteral nutrition. Patients were then separated by formula type: blenderized formula (BTF) or non-blenderized formula (non-BTF).}, number = {ETD}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/h128nf42c}, recid = {9131}, address = {2021}, }
