- Abstract
A combination of enteral (EN) and parenteral nutrition (PN) is often used as a strategy to optimize nutritional intake in critically ill patients; however, the effects of this intervention on clinically important outcomes have not been widely studied. This paper systematically reviewed studies that compare EN + PN to enteral nutrition (EN) alone in critically ill patients.
