Abstract

Objective To investigate the effects of different nutrition support methods on prognosis of patients with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP).Methods 154 patients with SAP received stage nutritional support were divided into two groups,78 patients received the total parenteral nutrition(TPN) and 76 patients received combination of parenteral nutrition(PN) and enteral nutrition(EN).The incidence of infections and complications,average hospital stay and the mortality rates were compared between two groups.Results Compared to TPN group,PN+EN group was associated with lower incidences of pancreatic infection,infections in other sites,the complications and average hospital stay,but there was no significant difference about mortalitys.Conclusion PN combined with EN may be the preferred and rational route of nutritional support in patients with SAP.
