ePub - Purpose: Early nutritional support (ENS) for critically ill patients is promoted by many studies. However, there is a lack of data evaluating its necessity in general wards. This study aims to determine the impact of ENS on patients in general wards.
Methods: Patients aged 18 and above, admitted to the Jeonbuk National University Hospital in Jeonju from January 2020 to December 2020, who were eligible for nutritional support and hospitalized for at least 7 days were included in the study. We divided the patients into two groups: the ENS group, who received nutritional support within 48 hours of admission, and the control group, who received it after 48 hours.
Results: Among 1,077 patients, 146 met the inclusion criteria. The ENS group (n=38) and the control group (n=108) were compared retrospectively. There was a significant age difference between the two groups (P=0.028). The admission ratio to the intensive care unit (ICU) in the ENS group was significantly lower than that in the control group (10.2% vs. 26.3%, P=0.019). The calorie support rate (%) and protein support rate (%) in the ENS group were significantly higher than in the control group (50.12%±23.30% vs. 38.56%±18.02%, P=0.006; 44.61%±25.07% vs. 32.07%±22.76%, P=0.002, respectively). After propensity score matching, the ENS was significantly associated with ICU low admissions (odds ratio 0.08, 95% confidence interval 0.01–0.69, P=0.022).
Conclusion: A future multi-center study considering underlying diseases is needed to provide additional scientific evidence to support the effects of ENS.

Abstract

Purpose:
Bilirubin is a biomarker for the diagnosis of liver diseases or bile duct dysfunction. This study assessed the physiological changes in the blood bilirubin level infusing ω-3 enriched parenteral nutrition (PN) and ω-3 free PN in healthy male subjects.
Materials and Methods:
This study was a randomized, open-label, two-treatment, two-way crossover trial. Sixteen subjects were assigned randomly to one of two sequences of the two treatments: ω-3 enriched PN or ω-3 free PN was infused via aperipheral venous catheter for six hours at 3 mL/kg/h. Blood samples were collected every one hour from 0 to 12 hours after starting an intravenous infusion for bilirubin concentrations. The total bilirubin and direct bilirubin concentrations in the blood were analyzed using an enzymatic method.
Results:
The bilirubin concentration in the blood was reduced while infusing the ω-3 enriched PN and ω-3 free PN. When it stopped infusing, the bilirubin concentration was recovered. A similar pattern was observed, but there was a further decline and recovery in ω-3 free PN.
Conclusion:
When ω-3 enriched PN and ω-3 free PN are infused in healthy male subjects, the blood bilirubin level decreasedand there is no difference between the two groups.
