Clinical Trial: Estimation of Nutritional Needs of Preterm Neonates Fed on Parenteral Nutrition and Effects on Body Weight Gain

U.S., Nov. 20 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07236957) titled 'Estimation of Nutritional Needs of Preterm Neonates Fed on Parenteral Nutrition and Effects on Body Weight Gain' on Nov. 13.

Brief Summary: This randomized controlled trial included 100 preterm and small for gestational age neonates. The study aimed to determine the optimal approach for estimating nutritional needs in parenteral nutrition (PN) with the assistance of a specialized clinical decision support system (CDSS).
