RESULTS:A total of 34 literatures were included. There were 158874 prescriptions,among which vitamin was used in 145400 prescriptions (91.52%). 12 or 13 kinds of vitamin were used in 73508 prescriptions (46.27%);over-dose drug use was found in 53388 prescriptions(33.60%),and vitamin was not completely added into 18504 prescriptions(11.65%);no vitamin was added into 1663 prescriptions (1.05%). The proportion of the prescriptions including 12 or 13 kinds of vitamin was the highest in northern China (52.00%). 12 or 13 kinds of vitamin were added into the prescriptions and the author believed that the proportion of excessive use of vitamin,incomplete addition of water-soluble vitamin and fat-soluble vitamin in class three grade A hospitals were all lower than hospitals below class three grade A. The prescriptions including 12 or 13 kinds of necessary vi-tamin were adopted in oncology department(97.72%),internal medicine department(86.62%),intensive care unit(77.99%)and surgery department(52.83%). CONCLUSIONS:The standardized use of vitamin PN prescriptions occupies low proportion in Chi-na. It is necessary to enhance the conception that multiple recommended vitamins should be added into PN.
