To the best of our knowledge, this review is the first to address the prevalence and progression of vitamin K deficiency in critically ill patients. It guides clinicians in diagnosing and managing vitamin K deficiency in intensive care and suggests practical strategies for supplementing vitamin K in critically ill patients. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the existing literature, and serves as a valuable resource for clinicians, researchers, and policymakers in critical care medicine.
