Question

  1. What is the clinical effectiveness of peripheral parenteral nutrition for adult patients who are not meeting their nutritional needs through enteral feeding in hospital settings?
  2. What is the cost-effectiveness of peripheral parenteral nutrition for adult patients who are not meeting their nutritional needs through enteral feeding in hospital settings?

Key Message

Three randomized controlled trials (including one pilot study) and one non-randomized study were identified regarding the clinical effectiveness of peripheral parenteral nutrition for adult patients who are not meeting their nutritional needs through enteral feeding in hospital settings. However, no economic evaluations were identified regarding the cost-effectiveness of peripheral parenteral nutrition for adult patients who are not meeting their nutritional needs through enteral feeding in hospital settings.
