The observation group was superior to the control group in not only reducing incidence rate of preterm children PNAC but also in improving the treatment effect .Conclusion Using L‐carnitine in early intravenous nutrition of premature infants could improve fat metabolism ,promote growth effect ,reduce the incidence rate of cholestasis with few adverse effects .
