Utilization patterns of total parenteral nutrition in a university hospital

Abstract: To study the utilization of total parenteral nutrition, using methodology recommended by the World Health Organization, classification of components in accordance with the anatomical therapeutic chemical classification and defined daily dose system is necessary. Anatomical therapeutic chemical indices are available but defined daily dose values have not been established yet. In this article, a methodology to study both the total utilization of total parenteral nutrition, the utilization of individual substance… Show more
