Semi‐Elemental Formula or Polymeric Formula: Is There a Better Choice for Enteral Nutrition in Acute Pancreatitis? Randomized Comparative Study

Semi-elemental and polymeric nutrition are very well tolerated in patients with acute pancreatitis. Nutrition with a semi-elemental formula supports the hypothesis of a more favorable clinical course than nutrition with a polymeric formula, but this conclusion needs to be established in larger adequately powered clinical trials.
