About this trial

This prospective and observational study aims to evaluate the accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) in adult and pediatric patients starting long-term parenteral nutrition, by non-invasive skin AGE measurements over a 12-month follow-up.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients (adults and children, all ages) initiating long-term parenteral nutrition

Followed at CHU de Bordeaux or Robert Debré Hospital (APHP)

Covered by French Social Security system

Written informed consent obtained from patient (if adult) or legal guardian (if minor)

Disqualifiers

Fitzpatrick skin type ≥ V (darker skin tones)

Forearm tattoos at the site of measurement

For patients included under 1 year of age: patients born prematurely (before 37 weeks of amenorrhea)

Pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Skin AGE levels

Change in skin AGE levels between baseline and 12 months after initiation of parenteral nutrition (Visit M12).

Time frame
Baseline, 12 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Advanced Glycation End-products

Compare skin AGE (Advanced Glycation End-products) levels with Age levels in parenteral nutrition bags (M6)

Time frame
6 months
2

Risk factors

Search for risk factors for AGE accumulation linked to dietary habits

Time frame
Baseline, 6 months and 12 months
3

Skin AGE and metabolic/cardiovascular status

To investigate whether there is an association between skin AGE levels and the metabolic and cardiovascular status of patients.

Time frame
Baseline, 6 months and 12 months
4

AGE and hyperglycaemic episodes

To investigate whether there is an association between skin AGE levels and the number, duration and intensity of hyperglycaemic episodes during parenteral nutrition infusion.

Time frame
Baseline, 6 months and 12 months
