Article Synopsis
- * Analysis showed that while LDL-cholesterol reductions over time were similar for both sexes, a higher percentage of males had existing cardiovascular disease both at enrollment and during follow-up compared to females.
- * Notably, males experienced their first ASCVD event at a median age of 50.6 years, significantly earlier than females, who had their first event at a median age of 61.6 years, highlighting important sex-related differences in
Background & Aims: Home parenteral nutrition-quality of life (HPN-QOL) is a self-assessment tool for the measurement of QOL in patients on HPN. The aims of this study were: to re-assess the basic psychometric properties of the HPN-QOL in a multinational sample of adult patients; to provide a description of QOL dimensions by short and long HPN treatment duration; to explore clinical factors potentially associated to QOL scores.
Methods: Patients (n = 699) from 14 countries completed the HPN-QOL.
Patients presenting severe intestinal failure submitted to a home-based parenteral nutrition program have increased risk for bone metabolism impairments. This decrease in bone quality has a multifactorial origin and may be already present when implementing nutritional support. There is the need for having available protocols allowing early diagnosis of osteo-metabolic disease and implementing adequate therapy to prevent fractures and improving the quality of life of these patients.
