Injectable Lipid Emulsion and Clinical Outcomes in Patients Exclusively Receiving Parenteral Nutrition in an ICU: A Retrospective Cohort Study Using a Japanese Medical Claims Database.

ABSTRACT: Guidelines for the nutritional management of critically ill patients recommend the use of injectable lipid emulsion (ILE) as part of parenteral nutrition (PN). The ILE's impact on outcomes remains unclear. Associations between prescribed ILE and in-hospital mortality, hospital readmission, and hospital length of stay (LOS) in critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) were investigated. Patients who were ≥18 years old in an ICU from January 2010 through June 2020, receiving mechanical ventilation, and fasting for >7 days, were selected from a Japanese medical claims database and divided, based on prescribed ILE during days from 4 to 7 of ICU admission, into 2 groups, no-lipid and with-lipid. Associations between the with-lipid group and in-hospital mortality, hospital readmis
