OBJECTIVEHyperglycemia may increase mortality in patients who receive total parenteral nutrition (TPN). However, this has not been well studied in noncritically ill patients (i.e., patients in the nonintensive care unit setting). The aim of this study was to determine whether mean blood glucose level during TPN infusion is associated with increased mortality in noncritically ill hospitalized patients.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSThis prospective multicenter study involved 19 Spanish hospitals. Noncritically ill patients who were prescribed TPN were included prospectively, and data were collected on demographic, clinical, and laboratory variables as well as on in-hospital mortality.RESULTSThe study included 605 patients (mean age 63.2 ± 15.7 years). The daily mean TPN values were 1.630 ± 323 kcal, 3.2 ± 0.7 g carbohydrates/kg, 1.26 ± 0.3 g amino acids/kg, and 0.9 ± 0.2 g lipids/kg. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the patients who had mean blood glucose levels >180 mg/dL during the TPN infusion had a risk of mortality that was 5.6 times greater than those with mean blood glucose levels <140 mg/dL (95% CI 1.47–21.4 mg/dL) after adjusting for age, sex, nutritional state, presence of diabetes or hyperglycemia before starting TPN, diagnosis, prior comorbidity, carbohydrates infused, use of steroid therapy, SD of blood glucose level, insulin units supplied, infectious complications, albumin, C-reactive protein, and HbA1c levels.CONCLUSIONSHyperglycemia (mean blood glucose level >180 mg/dL) in noncritically ill patients who receive TPN is associated with a higher risk of in-hospital mortality.

Background: There is no established insulin regimen in T2DM patients receiving parenteral nutrition. Aims: To compare the effectiveness (metabolic control) and safety of two insulin regimens in patients with diabetes receiving TPN.

The combined treatment with MA and ND led to a significant increase in body weight and FFM. Muscle strength and quality of life improved during the study. The treatment was well tolerated with mild side effects.

Aim: To communicate the results of the Spanish Home Parenteral Nutrition (HEN) registry of the NADYA-SENPE group for the year 2015.Material and methods: Data was recorded online by NADYA group collaborators that were responsible of the HPN follow-up from 1 st January to 31 st December 2015.Results: Two hundred and thirty-six patients with 243 episodes of NPD were recorded from 40 hospitals. This represents a rate of 5.08 patients/million habitants for 2015. The most frequent pathology in adults was other (26.3%) followed by palliative oncological (21.6%). The most common complication was catheter-related sepsis which presented a rate of 0.53 infections/1,000 days of HPN. Sixty-four episodes were fi nished; the main cause was death (43.7%) and resuming to oral via (32.8%).Conclusions: we fi nd increasing centers and professional partners, responding to the progressively more patients with parenteral nutrition support at home. The main indications for the establishment of NPD and causes termination of treatment remain stable. ResumenObjetivo: comunicar los datos del registro de Nutrición Parenteral Domiciliaria (NPD) del grupo de trabajo NADYA-SENPE del año 2015.Material y métodos: recopilación de los datos de NPD del registro online del grupo de Nutrición Artifi cial Domiciliaria y Ambulatoria (NADYA) desde el 1 de enero de 2015 al 31 de diciembre de 2015.Resultados: se registraron 236 pacientes, con 243 episodios de NPD procedentes de 40 hospitales, lo que representa una tasa de 5,08 pacientes/millón de habitantes/año 2015. La patología más frecuente en los adultos fue "otros" (26,3%) seguido por "oncológico paliativo" (21,6%). La complicación más frecuente fue la séptica relacionada con el catéter, que presentó una tasa de 0,53 infecciones/1.000 días de NPD. Finalizaron 64 episodios, la principal causa fue el fallecimiento (43,7%) y el "paso a la vía oral" (32,8%).Conclusiones: constatamos el aumento de los centros y profesionales colaboradores, dando respuesta a la cantidad progresivamente mayor de pacientes con soporte nutricional parenteral en domicilio. Se mantienen estables las principales indicaciones para el establecimiento de NPD y las causas de fi nalización del tratamiento.
