  "abstract": "Background\n\nCritically ill psychiatric patients frequently present with multiple physical comorbidities and poor nutritional status. Enteral nutrition plays a key role in comprehensive critical care, but enteral nutrition intolerance (ENI) is highly prevalent.Aims\n\nTo investigate the incidence, independent risk factors, and clinical outcomes of ENI in critically ill psychiatric patients with comorbid physical diseases.Methods\n\nThis is a single-center retrospective study. We enrolled 150 consecutive patients admitted between January 2024 and December 2025 who received enteral nutrition for at least 3 days. Data for analysis were sourced from the institutional electronic medical record database. Baseline characteristics, nutritional indicators, psychiatric parameters, comorbidity scores, and treatment-related variables were collected. To detect independent risk factors for ENI, univariate screening was performed first, followed by multivariate logistic regression.Results\n\nThe overall incidence of ENI was 54.0% in critically ill psychiatric patients with physical comorbidities. Multivariate logistic regression showed the odds ratio (OR) of serum albumin <25 g/L (OR = 3.26, 95%CI: 2.11-5.04, P<0.001), APACHE II score ≥15 (OR = 2.89, 95%CI: 1.87-4.47, P<0.001), combined use of ≥3 antipsychotic agents (OR = 2.71, 95%CI: 1.75-4.19, P<0.001), schizophrenia (OR = 2.12, 95%CI: 1.43-3.21, P = 0.008), and duration of antibiotic use ≥7 days (OR = 2.18, 95%CI: 1.40-3.38, P = 0.001). ENI was significantly associated with longer hospital stay, lower nutritional goal attainment, more frequent EN interruption, and higher pulmonary infection rates.Conclusion\n\nThese findings indicate a high burden of ENI in this vulnerable population. The risk factors include hypoalbuminemia, high APACHE IIscore, combined use of three or more antipsychotic agents, schizophrenia, and prolonged antibiotic therapy.",
