- Abstract
The article presents a study which determined whether providing early parenteral nutrition (PN) to critically ill adults with relative contraindications to early enteral nutrition (EN) alters outcomes and states that as part of the study a clinical trial was conducted between in intensive care units (ICUs) of 31 hospitals in Australia and New Zealand. As mentioned, the main study outcomes were measured for day-60 mortality, quality of life, infections and body composition. The study concluded that the provision of early PN to critically ill adults with relative contraindications to early EN did not result in a difference in day-60 mortality.
