Use of Concentrated Parenteral Nutrition Solutions Is Associated With Improved Nutrient Intakes and Postnatal Growth in Very Low‐Birth‐Weight Infants

摘要

Background Evidence showing the beneficial effects of enhanced parenteral nutrition (PN) to very low‐birth‐weight (VLBW, 1500?g) infants is accumulating. However, PN composition and its impact on growth outcomes are questioned. This study aimed to investigate the associations between administration of a concentrated PN regime and intakes of energy and macronutrients as well as postnatal growth in VLBW infants.
