Summary

This completed observational study looked at how intravenous lipid emulsions (fat-containing nutrition given through a vein) affect blood clotting in 6,259 hospitalized patients. Researchers compared clotting tests before and after patients received these emulsions as part of routine care. The goal is to understand any changes in clotting function, which could help guide safer use of IV nutrition in hospitals.
