Legend: Daily flow chart summary of SCAMP nutrition study protocol including consent, randomisation, PN administration and data collection. Week 2 flow chart is repeated in week 3 and 4 to complete the 28 day intervention period. Day 29: Patient reverts to standard PN (if still on PN). All routine data collection stops apart from routine weekly growth data which continues until 36 weeks corrected for gestational age.

Abbreviations: stnd: standard PN (scNPN); max: scNPNmax; ICR: intensive care record of daily fluid/nutrient/drug administration; U/E, BG: routine biochemical monitoring of plasma electrolytes, glucose, lactate and blood gases; Bone/LFT: routine biochemical monitoring of plasma bone and liver biochemistry; TG: triglyceride levels; AA amino acid levels.
