Description
Summary:To determine whether cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-OP) would prevent or ameliorate parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis (PNAC) among high-risk neonates treated with total parenteral nutrition. This was a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial conducted between 1996 and 2001. Neonates at risk for the development of PNAC included very low birth weight neonates and those with major surgical conditions involving the gastrointestinal tract. Tertiary care hospitals. Patients were randomized to receive CCK-OP (0.04 mug/kg per dose, twice daily) or placebo. Eligible infants were all
