Results of the survey among 28 sites participating in the GUTPHOS study. A Frequency of Positive Responses for PN Options. Bubble chart representing the frequency of responses for different Parenteral Nutrition (PN) options in the survey with 28 sites. Each bubble represents a PN option. Each bubble's size and colour intensity correspond to the number of positive responses for that option, with larger and brighter bubbles indicating more frequent selection. The number inside each bubble indicates the exact count of positive responses. PN options are labelled beneath each bubble. AA amino acids. B Summary of minimum requirements to label a solution as PN. Bar chart illustrating the diversity in defining Parenteral Nutrition (PN) among survey respondents. The x-axis shows five categories of increasing complexity in PN definition, from "Any single component" to "Only commercial preparations." The y-axis and bar heights represent the number of responses in each category. The sites were categorised according to the minimal definition (left-to-right on the x-axis)
