Scientific title | |
Study acronym | SIGN (Surgical Infants Glutamine Nutrition) |
Study objectives | We will test the hypothesis that glutamine supplementation in the parenteral nutrition (PN) of surgical infants determines more rapid recovery of intestinal function and reduction in infection rate. |
Ethics approval(s) | Ethics approval received from local medical ethics committee (ref: 2/4/002). |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Surgical newborn infants on parenteral nutrition |
Intervention | The treatment group will receive glutamine-supplemented parenteral nutrition. The control group will receive isonitrogenous parenteral nutrition. All patients will have data collected once a week on clinical state, feeding, liver and renal function tests, ammonia, septic episodes and parenteral nutrition lines |
Intervention type | Supplement |
Primary outcome measure | 1. Infection: episodes of sepsis and septicaemia, timing of sepsis and septicaemia 2. Intestinal function: time to full enteral feeding and time on (days) |
Secondary outcome measures | 1. Growth 2. Nutrient intake 3. Biochemical measures of hepatic function |
