Epidemiology of home enteral and parenteral nutrition in adults: comprehensive national data

Although HEN and HPN are important parts of home healthcare, lack of information about the number of patients concerned is surprising.

It compares these publications with an exhaustive retrospective observational study on our national adult population for the year 2019.
