  • Ages 18 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: This cohort study was a pragmatic, retrospective, single center, matched, clinical trial from May 2014 to June 2017.The trail included obstructive jaundice patients ≥20 years who received PN treatment for ≥5 days for maintenance and improvement of their nutrition status round the operation period. All patients received PN along with the three macronutrients, compounded in an "All-In-One" manner, included amino acids, lipids and glucose, electrolytes, and micronutrients (trace elements and vitamins). The administration was performed with a perfusion pump through a central line within 24 h.

Who may be able to join

  • the diagnosis of obstructive jaundice must be clear (serum toal bilirubin >51.3umol/L \& Imaging evidence), and the obstruction is located in the extrahepatic bile duct;
  • Duration of Jaundice is less than 2 weeks;
  • Nutritional support is needed
  • Nutritional support was administrated during the perioperative period;
  • Drainage treatment is effective.

Who cannot join

  • Contraindication for surgical procedure, including Child-Pugh Classification C, severe hemorrhagic disorders, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, acute infectious disease, active phase of chronic hepatitis B \& C, severe circulatory disease, renal failure pre -operation, and other unknown cause;
  • Abandon treatment;
  • Length of stay in hospital <5 day;
  • Nutrition support <5 day;
  • Conservative treatment;
  • Incomplete data;
  • Allergic reactions against PN.

About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of n-3 Fatty Acid-based Parenteral Nutrition in Patients With Obstructive Jaundice: A Propensity-matched Study

The safety and efficacy of ω-3 fatty acid in patients with obstructive jaundice is not known. This study provided evidences that ω-3 fatty acid-based parenteral nutrition improved postoperative recovery for patients with obstructive jaundice.

Read the detailed description

Lipid emulsion enriched in n-3 fatty acid (FA) has been reported to improve postoperative recovery for surgical patients with biliary tract disease, and to improve laboratory and clinical outcomes. The role of it for postoperative patients with jaundice is not clear yet. The object of this research was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of n-3 fatty acid-based parenteral nutrition (PN) for patients with jaundice following Surgical procedure.

This cohort study was a pragmatic, retrospective, single center, matched, clinical trial from May 2014 to June 2017.

What participants receive

  • trail cohortDrug

    Also called trail

    Drug: Omega-3 Fatty Acid-Based Parenteral Nutrition Glucose, lipid emulsion, amino acids, fat-and water-soluble vitamins as well as electrolytes were compounded in an "All-In-One" manner. 20% Structolipid and 10% Omegaven (ω-3 fatty acid [FA] mainly; Fresenius-Kabi, Germany) were applied to the trial group, but only Structolipid (ω-6 FA mainly) to the control group for 5 consecutive days postoperatively.

  • control cohortDrug

    Also called control

    Drug: Structolipid Glucose, lipid emulsion, amino acids, fat-and water-soluble vitamins as well as electrolytes were compounded in an "All-In-One" manner. 20% Structolipid and 10% Omegaven (ω-3 FA mainly; Fresenius-Kabi, Germany) were applied to the trial group, but only Structolipid (ω-6 FA mainly) to the control group for 5 consecutive days postoperatively.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety (complications)

    postoperative complications

    Measured: postoperative period(1 month )

  2. velocity of the serum total bilirubin clearance

    the velocity of the serum TBIL clearance, which was calculated according to formula behind: (formal TB -TB of current) /time interval

    Measured: postoperative period(1 month )

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. kidney function

    blood test for GFR and creatinine

    Measured: postoperative period(1 month )

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03376945, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
