    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) supports patients with severe gastrointestinal issues, enabling weight maintenance and growth. While complications can occur, HPN proves to be a safe and effective long-term nutritional support option.

    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Nutrition
    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Nutrition

    Background:

    • Severe gastrointestinal tract lesions necessitate alternative nutritional support.
    • Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) offers a solution for patients unable to maintain oral intake.
    • Long-term nutritional management is critical for patients with chronic gastrointestinal diseases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of home parenteral nutrition (HPN) for patients with severe gastrointestinal tract lesions.
    • To assess patient outcomes, including nutritional status, growth, and survival, during HPN therapy.
    • To identify and quantify complications associated with long-term HPN.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 106 patients receiving HPN for severe gastrointestinal tract lesions.

  • Monitoring of nutritional parameters, including weight for age and body build.
  • Tracking of linear growth in pediatric patients.
  • Documentation of all complications, including sepsis, catheter-related issues, and metabolic disturbances.

    • Main Results:

    • 41 patients resumed oral alimentation, while 48 continued HPN.
    • All patients achieved and maintained appropriate weight; pediatric patients showed normal or accelerated linear growth.
    • Seventeen patients died from non-HPN-related causes, including 10 with malignant disease.
    • Complications included sepsis (18 episodes/12 patients), local catheter infection (14 episodes/6 patients), and catheter thrombosis (6 episodes/5 patients).

    Conclusions:

    • Home parenteral nutrition is a relatively safe and effective method for long-term nutritional support in patients with severe gastrointestinal tract lesions.
    • HPN facilitates adequate nutritional rehabilitation, weight maintenance, and growth.
    • Careful monitoring and management are essential to mitigate potential complications associated with HPN therapy.
