title: [Methods for quality control in parenteral nutrition. III: application of the program to therapeutic results].
abstract: Therapeutic results of parenteral nutrition are evaluated by clinical nutritional benefits and by its safety with respect to the potential complications related to the method of administration and its inherent metabolic complications. In this context, a quality control programme was applied retrospectively to 148 patients and was evaluated according to the following indicators: a) PN suspension; b) a nutritional evaluation on termination of the parenteral nutrition; c) catheters inserted; d) mechanical complications; e) septic complications; f) routine controls; g) complete controls, and h) biochemical changes. The compliance percentages obtained were 92.8, 100, 85.1, 81.4, 84.9, 60.0, 33.1 and 43.8 respectively. These results allow us to see, for the first time, the profile of therapeutic quality in patients with parenteral nutrition. Likewise, it constitutes an obligatory methodology of intrahospital reference for continued improvement of parenteral nutrition received by patients admitted to this hospital.
