Introduction: Malnutrition is common in patients admitted to hospital and associated with morbidity mortality. We conducted a study assess the prevalence of nutritional risk, risk factors its consequences third-level hospital.Methods: This prospective screening hospitalized evaluated within first 72 hours admission, by Universal Screening Tool (MUST) Short Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (SNAQ) tests. The variables recorded included demographic, anthropometric, hospitalization clinical...
n -3 Fatty acids have clinical benefits. The primary aim of the present study was assessment infection in patients who underwent major high-risk elective gastrointestinal surgery receiving postoperatively fish oil (FO)-supplemented parenteral nutrition (PN), compared with those a standard olive (OO) emulsion. secondary aims were anti-inflammatory response and evaluation tolerance safety these emulsions. A prospective, randomised, double-blind performed requiring at least 5 d PN. An...
Parenteral nutrition-associated liver dysfunction can be progressive and irreversible, particularly in children patients with long-term treatment. This study has assessed the incidence of abnormal function tests hospitalized adults during short term parenteral nutrition (PN) investigated risk factors for developing alterations each parameter.A prospective cohort treated preserved at baseline. Variables examined included nutritional clinical data laboratory parameters. Determinations were...
To evaluate the nutritional status of non-critically ill digestive surgery patients at moment parenteral nutrition initiation using three different test tools and to study their correlation. association between tests clinical laboratory parameters used in follow-up PN treatment.Prospective over 4 months. Anthropometric variables were recorded. Results Subjective Global Assessment; Patient-Generated Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 compared applying kappa test. Relationship with Assessment was...
Esophageal cancer represents a high-risk group of patients. This study determines the association artificial nutrition with morbidity, mortality, and survival studies clinical situations that determine choice between enteral (EN) parenteral support (PN). retrospective single-center compared 2 periods: 1) treatment centered in surgical process discretionary demand support, 2) elective therapeutic nutritional interventions were systematized. Risks factors determined use PN included 4...
Hepatic dysfunction is a complication associated with parenteral nutrition (PN). Our primary objective was to study the relationship between doses of intravenous fish oil (FO) emulsion in PN and variation main liver function tests (LFTs) hospitalized PN-treated adults. As secondary objective, we studied safety FO administration.We conducted retrospective adult patients receiving supplementation PN. Demographic, nutritional variables were collected. Variation LFTs defined as difference values...
To assess a control protocol concerning alterations in metabolic follow-up parameters the context of pharmaceutical care program designed for surgical patients receiving parenteral nutrition, through determination impact interventions on associated complications.Prospective interventional study two-months' duration performed nutrition. The variables included predefined biochemical within metabolic-nutritional profile. Four categories were established to classify degree which each parameter...
High doses and vegetable origin of lipid emulsions (LE) are prominent factors for liver test (LT) alterations in patients treated with parenteral nutrition (PN). This study aims to determine incidence LT alterations, risk related these short term PN homogenous LE. Adult non-critically ill hospitalized patients, normal LTs at the beginning PN, receiving 0.8 g/kg/day an olive/soybean LE were included. A paired Student t-test was applied compare final initial values. variation (end vs start PN)...
Abstract Vegetable lipid emulsions (LE) contain non-declared phytosterols (PS). We aimed to determine PS content depending on the brand and LE batch, in adult hospitalised patients treated with parenteral nutrition (PN), establish association between plasma administered PS. Part I was study: totals fractions of three four non-consecutive batches from six were analysed. II patient at least 7 previous days PN 0·8 g/kg per d an olive/soyabean (O/S) randomised (day 0) 1:1 O/S or 100 % fish oil...
Esophagectomy is a major surgery with high degree of catabolic and post-surgical inflammatory response accompanied by morbidity significant mortality. Post-surgical nutritional support via enteral administration ω-3 fatty acids has been seen to be effective although its bad tolerance. There are few clinical trials parenteral in these patients. We propose investigate the effect combining fish oil lipid emulsion standard nutrition (EN) support.Prospective, single-center, randomized,...
this study assessed the incidence of hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and liver function test (LFT) alterations among patients older younger than 65 years receiving parenteral nutrition (PN). A secondary objective was to compare any these three events.inclusion criteria were non-critically ill adult inpatients PN for ≥ 7 days in 15 hospitals Spain. Exclusion LFT alterations, sepsis, shock, pancreatic/hepatobiliary surgery, renal failure, diabetes mellitus (DM) type 1, insulin-treated DM...
The main objective of this study was to determine plasma levels PS and SNVs rs41360247, rs4245791, rs4148217, rs11887534 ABCG8 the r657152 SNV at ABO blood group locus in a sample population treated our hospital, whether these are related concentrations. secondary establish variables associated with concentrations adults. Participants completed dietary habit questionnaire collected obtain following variables: campesterol, sitosterol, sitostanol, lanosterol, stigmasterol, biochemical...
Introduction Liver damage has been associated with the accumulation of phytosterols (PS) in patients treated parenteral nutrition (PN). We aimed to study association inflammatory markers liver function biomarker (LFB) alterations PN containing PS. Materials and methods Prospective observational study. Simple linear stepwise multiple regression tests interactions were performed. Results Nineteen included. In multivariable model, determinations based on LFBs as dependent (and their fractions)...
Our objective was to assess in non-critically-ill adult inpatients receiving parenteral nutrition (PN) the risk of developing liver function test (LFT) alterations when concomitant possibly hepatotoxic medications or others reported improve LFTs during PN.A multicenter retrospective analysis prospectively collected data performed on patients PN. Two groups were recruited: group LALT (patients with any LFT PN), and NOLALT without such alterations). Exclusion criteria previous sepsis, shock,...
Introducción: El patrón de ácidos grasos (AG) las emulsiones lipídicas (EL) utilizadas en Nutrición Parenteral (NP) condiciona diferentes respuestas fisiológicas.Objetivos: Valorar la adecuación un protocolo clínico no restringido elección EL mediante el estudio parámetros bioquímicos y hematológicos específicos (PBHE) al inicio NP.Métodos: Estudio observacional retrospectivo 4 años. Se recogieron variables demográficas, clínicas, nutricionales analíticas NP. En pacientes con valores...
