Abstract
Parenteral nutrition (PN) is recommended in patients nutritionally at risk and unable to receive oral or enteral nutrition. A standardized electronic PN order format could enhance appropriate PN prescribing. We developed the OLIVE TREE (Offering guidance and Learning to prescribers to Initiate PN using a Validated Electronic decision TREE), embedded in our electronic health record. We aimed to evaluate its validity and impact on physicians' prescribing behavior. A non-randomized before-after study was carried out in a tertiary care center. The OLIVE TREE comprises 120 individual items. A process validation was performed to determine interrater agreement between a pharmacist and the treating physician. To estimate the proportion of patients for whom the OLIVE TREE had an effective and potential impact on physicians' prescribing behavior, a proof of concept study was conducted. The proportion of patients for whom PN was averted and the proportion of decisions not in line with the recommendation were also calculated. The process validation in 20 patients resulted in an interrater agreement of 95.0%. The proof of concept in 73 patients resulted in an effective and potential impact on prescribing behavior in 50.7% and 79.5% of these patients, respectively. Initiation of PN was not averted and recommendations of the OLIVE TREE were overruled in 42.5% of the patients. Our newly developed OLIVE TREE has a good process validity. A substantial impact on prescribing behavior was observed, although initiation of PN was not avoided. In the next phase, the decision tree will be implemented hospital-wide.

Parenteral Nutrition Complications in Children Undergoing Bone Marrow Transplantation. J Pediatr Hematol Oncol 2019; 41:e473-e477.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parenteral nutrition (PN) seems to be a practical solution to face the negative nutritional effects of bone marrow transplantation. OBJECTIVE Report and describe all observed PN-related complications in children undergoing allogenic bone marrow transplantation in a tertiary center and determine the possible risk factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective and observational study including 51 allografted children 2 to 17 years of age. We collected from medical patient records any noticed PN-related complications using an assessment causality method. The independent risk factors for complications were investigated by multivariate analysis. RESULTS A total of 92% of patients (n=47) developed a total of 136 complications attributable to PN. The incidence rate of complications was 5 for 100 patient days of PN. Infectious complications (32.3%) and electrolytic disorders (27.9%) were the most common conditions identified during our study. Multivariate analysis showed that the duration of PN exposure, age, and hyperglycemia were the risk factors for the onset of these complications. CONCLUSIONS Although we have noticed multiple complications attributable to PN, a certain causal link is difficult to establish in this particular context. Emphasizing enteral nutrition in bone marrow graft protocols would be the best way to avoid these complications.

Parenteral nutrition with standard solutions: not the best solution for everyone? A retrospective audit of 300 patients. JOURNAL OF INFUSION NURSING 2016; 37:424-31.

Abstract
An observational retrospective study audited the incidence of adverse events in 300 consecutive inpatients receiving a single, premade total nutrient admixture. No patient experienced critically high triglycerides; 16% of patients had a metabolic adverse event, including raised bilirubin, urea, creatinine, or liver enzymes. Line sepsis occurred on 30 occasions representing 0.67 infections per 1000 catheter days. Mortality was significantly higher in dialysis, nonsurgical, and intensive care unit patients. The use of a standard formulation for all parenterally nourished patients does not lead to an unacceptable incidence or severity of metabolic complications; however, it did not meet the protein requirements of surgical or critically ill patients.

Abstract
Whereas thrombotic events in critically ill children do not occur as commonly as in adults, they are being recognized with increasing frequency in the pediatric intensive care unit. The reasons for this are not clear but likely include an increased awareness of the problem and the ability to make a diagnosis using relatively noninvasive tests. In this section, I attempt to define the extent of the problem, summarize and discuss the relevant literature (pointing out where published experience in the pediatric population differs from that in adult patients), and suggest some guidelines regarding thrombophilia treatment and the management of thrombotic events.

Utilization of parenteral nutrition following pancreaticoduodenectomy: is routine jejunostomy tube placement warranted? Dig Dis Sci 2009; 54:1582-8.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Complications following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) often necessitate nutritional support. This study analyzes the utilization of parenteral nutrition (TPN) during the surgical admission as evidence for or against routine jejunostomy placement. METHODS The California Cancer Registry (1994-2003) was linked to the California Inpatient File; PD for adenocarcinoma was performed in 1,873 patients. TPN use and enterostomy tube placement were determined and preoperative characteristics predictive of TPN use during the surgical admission were identified. RESULTS Fourteen percent of patients received TPN, 23% underwent enterostomy tube placement, and 63% received no supplemental nutritional support. TPN was associated with longer hospital stay (18 vs. 13 days, P < 0.0001). The Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) > or = 3 had nearly two-fold greater odds of receiving TPN (odds ratio [OR] = 1.85, P < 0.005). CONCLUSION Approximately 1 in 6 patients undergoing PD received TPN, which was associated with prolonged hospital stay. CCI > or = 3 was associated with increased odds of TPN utilization. Selected jejunostomy placement in patients with high CCI is worthy of consideration.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis is a relatively common disease that affects about 300,000 patients per annum in America with a mortality of about 7%. About 75% of pancreatitis is caused by gallstones or alcohol. Other important causes include hypertriglyceridemia, medication toxicity, trauma from endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, hypercalcemia, abdominal trauma, various infections, autoimmune, ischemia, and hereditary causes. In about 15% of cases the cause remains unknown after thorough investigation. This article discusses the causes, diagnosis, imaging findings, therapy, and complications of acute pancreatitis.
