“…In 2012, the period prevalence of HPN in 16 European countries was estimated to range from 3.25 to 66 patients per million of the population (9). The most common indication for HPN in adults is short bowel arising from underlying diseases such as mesenteric ischemia and Crohn's disease; motility disorders and bowel obstruction due to cancer (7).…”

“…At 10 years 84% are still dependent on HPN and a significant number live 20 years or longer (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). In 2009 ESPEN published guidelines for the use of HPN in adults (15) and recognised the lack of studies describing QOL in HPN patients using disease-specific tools; it was noted that measurement of QOL should be patient-based rather than the clinician's perspective.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
