Impact of nutritional and educational support on home enteral nutrition.

Background: Home Enteral Nutrition (HEN) is used to prevent or correct malnutrition in outpatients. Due to the complexity of this process, the indication, follow-up, and results of an educational program of HEN patients was evaluated.

Methods: A prospective, observational, real-life, multicenter study was performed in 21 Spanish Hospital.

Real-life study of the effectiveness of a high calorie and high protein formula in the maintenance and improvement of nutritional state in patients with an indication of long-term enteral nutrition.

Unlabelled: The selection of the most appropriate formula in long-term home enteral nutrition is a controversial issue. Our objective was to study a high protein hypercaloric enteral nutrition formula in patients with long-term feeding (180 days).

Methods: Prospective observational multicenter real-life study with high-protein hypercaloric formula (2kcal/ml and 20% protein).
