Review Meta AnalysisEarly parenteral nutrition alone or accompanying enteral nutrition in critically ill patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Although several large-scale clinical trials shave examined the relationship between early parenteral nutrition (ePN) and critically ill patients, a consensus has not been reached. In addition, no meta-analysis in this area has yet been published. The objective of this meta-analysis was to examine the effect of ePN, alone or accompanying enteral nutrition, in critically ill patients. ⋯ Overall, this meta-analysis from RCTs indicates that provision of ePN within 24-48 hours has no benefit on the survival rate in critically ill patients. Thus, provision of ePN in patients is not needed in those who have contraindications to enteral nutrition or can tolerate a low volume of enteral nutrition.
