The second column mentions the brand of intravenous (IV) lipid used in the study, the concentration (Conc.) of the lipid emulsion, and the method of dose calculation described in the study (ie, volume of the IV lipid in milliliters/24 hours or target total kcal/kg/24 hours, including those from other sources). The 2 columns on the right mention the outcomes in each group as the number of deaths/number of patients with organ failure/total number of patients in the group. The “?” indicates that the information was not specified.

EN, enteral nutrition; PN, parenteral nutrition.
