Effects of Two Different Parenteral Nutrition Regimes on Nutrient Intakes, Growth and Plasma Electrolytes in Very Low Birth Weight Infants (PUMPA)

November 3, 2020 updated by: Magnus Domellöf, Umeå University
A single-center retrospective observational study comparing two cohorts of very low birth weight (VLBW, birth weight < 1500 grams) infants who received parenteral nutrition (PN) either before or after a concentrated PN regime was implemented into clinical use. Primary outcome is weight SDS at 28 days.

Detailed Description

This study is a single-center retrospective observational study comparing two cohorts of very low birth weight (VLBW, birth weight < 1500 grams) infants who received parenteral nutrition (PN) either before or after a concentrated PN regime was implemented into clinical use. Both PN regimes were based on standardized PN solutions with the possibility to complement with additive nutritional products according to individual assessment by the attending physician. To meet recommended macronutrient intakes, in 2012 a concentrated parenteral nutrition regime was implemented into clinical use at the neonatal intensive care unit in Umeå University hospital, Sweden. However, there is a lack of data on how changes in nutrient intakes affect growth and electrolyte status in preterm infants. Recent studies have demonstrated an increased incidence of hypokalaemia, hypophosphatemia and hypercalcaemia in infants who received enhanced parenteral energy and protein intakes.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

All infants VLBW infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at Umeå University Hospital, Sweden, within 24 hours after birth and treated there for ≥ 7 days, during 1 February 2010 and 30 September 2013.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • All infants VLBW infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at Umeå University Hospital, Sweden, within 24 hours after birth and treated there for ≥ 7 days, during 1 February 2010 and 30 September 2013.

The infants were divided into two groups:

  1. infants born between 1 February 2010 and 18 February 2012, before the concentrated PN regime was implemented (Original PN group: n = 81), and
  2. infants born between 19 February 2012 and 30 September 2013, after the concentrated PN regime was implemented (Concentrated PN group: n = 53).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Infants with chromosomal or severe congenital anomalies known to affect nutritional intakes and / or growth were excluded from the analyses.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Weight
Time Frame: 28 days
Primary outcome is weight Standard Deviation Score (SDS)
28 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
