Early Enteral Nutrition versus Early Supplemental Parenteral Nutrition in Patients Undergoing Major Abdominal Surgery: A Secondary Analysis of Two Randomized Clinical Trials

CONCLUSION: Early enteral nutrition compared to isoenergetic supplemental parenteral nutrition may not be associated with reduced rate of nosocomial infection in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery, but may be associated with improved hematological nutritional status. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03115957 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03115957) and NCT03117348 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03117348).PMID:38369126 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2024.02.006
