PN order changes in study patients and controls
| PN order changes | Study group (n=30) | Case-matched controls (n=30) |
| Macronutrients | 104 | 73 |
| Electrolytes | 173 | 178 |
| Micronutrients | 42 | 12 |
| Volume | 33 | 24 |
| Infusion rate | 11 | 13 |
| Total PN order changes | 373 | 309 |
Note. PN orders for macronutrients were modified more often in study patients than in case-matched controls. Electrolytes, PN volume and duration were modified similarly among the study patients and case-matched controls. Micronutrients were modified in study patients more often than case-matched controls. The total number of PN formula changes were 20% higher in study patients than in case-matched controls.
