Purpose: The purpose of the article is to assist the pharmacist engaged in nutrition support therapy in staying current with pertinent literature. Methods: Several clinical pharmacists engaged in nutrition support therapy compiled a list of articles published in 2017 considered important to their clinical practice. The citation list was compiled into a spreadsheet where the author participants were asked to assess whether the article was considered important to nutrition support pharmacy practice. A culled list of publications was then identified whereby the majority (at least 5 out of 8 authors) considered the article to be of significance. Guideline and consensus articles from professional organizations, important to practice but not scored, were also included. Results: A total of 95 articles were identified; six from the primary literature were voted by the group to be of high importance. An additional 13 organizational guidelines, position, recommendation, or consensus papers were also identified. The top-ranked articles from the primary literature were reviewed. Conclusion: It is recommended that pharmacists engaged in nutrition support therapy be familiar with these articles as it pertains to their practice.
