Tolerability of proactive enteral nutrition post allogeneic haematopoietic progenitor cell transplant: a randomised comparison to standard care
Nutrition support is an important component of care to prevent malnutrition during allogeneic haematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation (HPCT) however there is no consensus on the optimal method of nutrition support. It is currently unclear whether enteral nutrition (EN) via nasogastric (NG) feeding is tolerated and improves clinical outcomes in comparison with parenteral nutrition (PN). This randomised study aimed to determine the tolerability and outcomes of proactive EN in comparison to PN (standard care).
