Main Results:

  • Growth hormone and medium-chain triglycerides show benefits when added to PN.
  • Long-term intravenous nutrition does not appear to worsen osteoporosis.
  • New interventions and strategies for complication avoidance are discussed.

Conclusions:

  • The overall safety of long-term parenteral nutrition is reaffirmed.
  • Novel hormonal and lipid-based interventions represent significant potential advancements in PN.
  • Continued research into PN optimization is warranted.
