Parenteral nutrition is essential for very-low-birth-weight infants (VLBWIs) who are born with a birth weight of less than 1500 g, but a longer duration of parenteral nutrition is known to have a risk of comorbidity, such as ROP. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the duration of parenteral nutrition and the comorbidities of the VLBWIs. Methods: Using the prospective cohort of Korean neonatal network, we analyzed the perinatal and postnatal data before discharge of the total 2490 subjects born in 2021 and 2022. The primary outcomes were the diagnoses of PVL, BPD, and ROP. The secondary outcomes were the severity of BPD and ROP, treatment of ROP, and proposing the predictive model of comorbidities using the duration of parenteral nutrition. Results: This study found that prolonged parenteral nutrition exceeding 28 days was associated with a higher risk of PVL (odds ratio [OR] 1.71, 95% confidence interval [CI] [1.11, 2.64], p = 0.002) and BPD (OR 1.51, 95% CI [1.10, 2.08], p = 0.011). Furthermore, an intermediate duration of parenteral nutrition was found to be significantly associated with an increased risk of ROP in male subjects. Additionally, a prolonged duration of parenteral nutrition was observed to be linked to greater severity of BPD. Predictive models incorporating the duration of parenteral nutrition demonstrated a high degree of explanatory power in relation to both BPD and ROP. Conclusions: Longer duration of parenteral nutrition has a risk of critical comorbidities in VLBWIs. The nutrition strategy for shorter parenteral nutrition should be encouraged for the prevention of comorbidities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu17060996","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,12]],"date-time":"2025-03-12T07:31:42Z","timestamp":1741764702000},"page":"996","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Prolonged Parenteral Nutrition Increases the Risk of Comorbidities in Very-Low-Birth-Weight Infants: A Prospective National Cohort Study in South Korea"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3550-5028","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seong","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Ajou University Hospital, Suwon 16499, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yoong-A","family":"Suh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Ajou University Hospital, Suwon 16499, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7515-0554","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seoheui","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Ajou University Hospital, Suwon 16499, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9101-3581","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Moon","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Ajou University Hospital, Suwon 16499, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jang","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Ajou University Hospital, Suwon 16499, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"443","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2009-2959","article-title":"Neonatal outcomes of extremely preterm infants from the NICHD Neonatal Research Network","volume":"126","author":"Stoll","year":"2010","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e229","DOI":"10.3346\/jkms.2022.37.e229","article-title":"Serial Short-Term Outcomes of Very-Low-Birth-Weight Infants in the Korean Neonatal Network From 2013 to 2020","volume":"37","author":"Jeon","year":"2022","journal-title":"J.
