    What impact does nutrient composition of parenteral nutrition have on cost of medical care in critically ill diabetic patients?
    • Conclusion

      There is insufficient evidence to determine whether the nutrient composition of PN has an impact on cost of medical care in critically ill patients with diabetes.  Published trials evaluating this question were not found.

    • Grade: V
      • Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
      • Grade II is Fair;
      • Grade III is Limited/Weak;
      • Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
      • Grade V is Not Assignable.
      • High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
      • Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
      • Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
      • Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
      • Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.
