This study evaluated whether starting nasojejunal tube feeding within 24 hours of presentation would reduce the rate of death or major complications in patients with acute pancreatitis. This strategy was compared to allowing patients to take an “on demand” oral diet and only initiating nasojejunal tube feeding if there was poor oral intake by 96 hours after presentation. There was no difference between the two groups in any of the measured outcomes, though the study may have been underpowered. We conclude it is acceptable to allow an on-demand oral diet and reserve nasoenteric feeding for patients who have not achieved adequate nutrition by 96 hours after presentation. It is not necessary or beneficial to start nasojejunal tube feeds in the first 24 hours.
