Association between specialized nutrition support and 90‐day mortality relative to standard of care in malnourished adults with decompensated cirrhosis: A retrospective cohort study

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Malnutrition is common among patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis and linked to poor prognosis. Guidelines recommend intensified nutrition support e.g. parenteral nutrition, but evidence regarding safety and effectiveness is scarce. We aimed to investigate the impact of nutrition support, specifically parenteral nutrition, on
