Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Various micronutrients play an important role in the process of closure and recurrence of enterocutaneous fistulas, such as Vitamin C and Zinc. However, there is no specific recommendation on the dose of these nutrients by parenteral route.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a randomized, control trial to investigate the effect and safety of doses of vitamin c and zinc in patients with high enterocutaneous fistulas receiving who need nutrition parenteral therapy on closure and recurrence.

Screening will be made to select eligible participants before intervention. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: group a) 25-35 kcal/K/d, 1.3-1.5 g/K/d of amino acids and C 100-300 mg/d y zinc 3-5 mg/d; group b) 25-35 kcal/K/d, 1.3-1.5 g/K/d of amino acids and Vitamin C 1000-2000 mg/d y zinc 10-15 mg/d.

Demographic variables and subjective global assessment scale will be recorded and applied. Anthropometric measurements (weight and body mass index) will be evaluated upon admission and weekly until hospital discharge.

Biochemical markers (albumin, lymphocytes, prealbumin, transferrin, cholesterol, creatinine) and serum metabolic profile (glucose, liver function test) will be measured weekly. During hospitalization, patients will be evaluated daily until the closure of the fistula and/or follow-up at 30 days, monitoring capillary blood glucose, insulin expenditure, and fistula volume.
