ClinConnect Summary

In addition, other variables will be assessed in this study, i.e., C-reactive Protein (CRP), free fatty acids, immunology parameters, taurine, comparison of the time required for Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) preparation of the two groups, the results of physical examination, vital signs, relevant nutrition- and safety-related laboratory parameters in venous blood and urine, the results of an Electrocardiography (ECG), and the number, severity, seriousness, clinical relevance, relatedness and outcome of Adverse Events (AEs). The aim of the planned study is to demonstrate that SmofKabiven...
