| Abstract |
A preterm infant was found to have total parenteral nutrition (TPN) ascites after infusion through a low umbilical vein catheter (UVC). Objective. To evaluate the clinical and imaging findings of neonates with TPN ascites after infusion through UVCs. Eight patients with TPN ascites were identified over three years. Charts were abstracted for clinical data. Plain-film, ultrasound (US), and contrast studies through the UVCs were examined to determine UVC placement, presence of liver injury, and confirmation of intraperitoneal extravasation from the UVC. All eight patients with TPN ascites presented with hypotension and abdominal distension. All had UVCs overlying the liver on plain film. Catheters were in place a mean of 8.9 days prior to TPN extravasation. US in four patients showed hepatic parenchymal damage around the UVC tip. Contrast studies in six patients showed intraperitoneal spill. While low UVC placement may sometimes be clinically unavoidable, TPN administered through abnormally positioned UVCs is not without risk. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 August 2021.
All research outputs
#7,467,331
of 22,829,083 outputs
Outputs from Pediatric Radiology
#647
of 2,084 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#21,757
of 99,696 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pediatric Radiology
#1
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,829,083 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,084 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.7. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 99,696 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
