  1. Legend: Daily flow chart summary of SCAMP nutrition study protocol including consent, randomisation, PN administration and data collection. Week 2 flow chart is repeated in week 3 and 4 to complete the 28 day intervention period. Day 29: Patient reverts to standard PN (if still on PN). All routine data collection stops apart from routine weekly growth data which continues until 36 weeks corrected for gestational age.
  2. Abbreviations: stnd: standard PN (scNPN); max: scNPNmax; ICR: intensive care record of daily fluid/nutrient/drug administration; U/E, BG: routine biochemical monitoring of plasma electrolytes, glucose, lactate and blood gases; Bone/LFT: routine biochemical monitoring of plasma bone and liver biochemistry; TG: triglyceride levels; AA amino acid levels.
