The effect of nutritional support on outcome from severe head injury

Abstract: Fifty-one brain-injured patients with peak 24-hour admission Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores of 4 to 10 were prospectively randomly assigned to receive total parenteral (TPN) or enteral (EN) nutrition. Patients were studied from hospital admission to 18 days postinjury. Outcome was assessed by the Glasgow Outcome Scale at 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year postinjury. The TPN group received a significantly higher cumulative mean intake of protein than the EN group (mean +/- standard error of the mean: 1.35 +/- 0.1… Show more

“…Nine of eighteen (50 %) patients fed enterally died, primarily of infectious causes, compared with three of thirty (15 %) patients who received PN. Later, this same research group repeated this study in fifty-one head-injured patients (Young et al 1987). In this study, they again demonstrated a difference in nutritional outcomes, but there was no difference in overall infections and mortality between the two groups.…”
