title: Significant publications for pharmacy nutrition support practice in 2013.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assist the pharmacy clinician engaged in nutrition support in staying current with the most pertinent literature.
  
  
  METHODS
  Several experienced board-certified clinical pharmacists in nutrition support compiled a list of publications published in 2013 that they considered to be important to their practice. The citation list was compiled into a Web-based survey whereby pharmacist members of the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (A.S.P.E.N.), GI-Liver-Nutrition Practice Research Network of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy, and the Pharmacy and Pharmacology Section of the Society of Critical Care Medicine were asked to rank each article according to level of importance in their practice.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A total of 30 articles were identified by the author group. Thirty-six participants responded to the survey. The top-ranked papers by participants from the Web-based survey were reviewed by the authors. Due to its high level of importance, the parenteral nutrition safety consensus recommendations article, to be published in 2014 by A.S.P.E.N., was also reviewed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is recommended that the informed pharmacist, who is engaged in nutrition support therapy, be familiar with the majority of these publications.
