Conditions

Parenteral Nutrition Associated Cholestasis

Brief summary

The Investigators hypothesize that increased cumulative amount of lipid intake causes PNAC in late preterm and term neonates with major GI surgical disorders

Masking description

The care taker team provided daily weight to the research pharmacist for calculating the dose of the lipid according to the assignment and then calculated the rate of administration over 18 to 24 hours depending on the volume. The rate and dose was masked to the investigators and participants.

Inclusion criteria

All neonates ≥ 34 weeks gestational age with major GI surgical disorders (Gastroschisis, omphalocele, volvulus, trachea-esophageal fistula, duodenal atresia, jejunal atresia, ileal atresia, hirschsprung's disease, anorectal malformation, intestinal obstruction, and GI perforations) requiring surgery admitted to our NICU within first 72 hours will be eligible for this study

Exclusion criteria

1. If does not need TPN by 72 hours; 2. Direct hyperbilirubinemia within the first 72 hours after birth; 3. TORCH infections (Toxoplasmosis, CMV, Herpes, Rubella, HIV, etc); 4. Biliary tract disorders leading to direct hyperbilirubinemia; 5. Known metabolic disorders that may be associated with direct hyperbilirubinemia- such as Galactosemia, α-1 antitrypsin deficiency, etc

Comparison: we hypothesized that among ≥ 34 weeks GA infants with GISDs, infants receiving 1g/kg/day S-ILE (lipid minimizing strategy) would have decreased incidence of IFALD compared to those receiving 2g/kg/day S-ILE. We also hypothesized that the rate of rise of DB would be lower among ≥ 34 weeks GA infants with GISDs receiving 1g/kg/day versus 2g/kg/day of S-ILE.p-value: 0.94Chi-squared
