Prevalence and Prognostic Value of Abnormal Liver Test Results in Critically Ill Children and the Impact of Delaying Parenteral Nutrition*
In the Early versus Late Parenteral Nutrition in the Pediatric ICU randomized controlled trial, delaying parenteral
nutrition to beyond day 7 (late parenteral nutrition) was clinically superior to supplemental parenteral nutrition initiated within 24 hours (early parenteral nutrition), but resulted in a higher rise in bilirubin. We aimed to document prevalence and prognostic value of abnormal liver tests in the PICU and the impact hereon of withholding early parenteral nutrition.
