Description
Summary:A previous CADTH report, published in 2009, entitled "n-3 Lipids for Patients on Total Parenteral Nutrition: A Review of the Clinical and Cost-Effectiveness" summarized the results from 10 randomized controlled trials, four observational studies, and one economic evaluation. The evidence indicated fish oil to be safe and well-tolerated with some randomized controlled trials showing reduced hospital stay and/or anti-inflammatory effects with the administration of n-3 fatty acids. The economic evaluation did not support the cost-effectiveness of fish oil for parenteral nutrition (PN). The current report aims to review the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of various lipid emulsions for PN in all patient populations requiring PN. This report also aims to review evidence-based guidelines pertaining to the use of various lipid intravenous lipid emulsions (ILEs) in patients requiring PN.
