The prevalence of home enteral and parenteral nutrition programmes is rising rapidly all over the world, in children as in adults. Home artificial nutrition, especially parenteral nutrition, is an expensive technology but is life-saving for many patients. The only possible alternative to home treatment is keeping patients in hospital, and cost-benefit studies have demonstrated that home nutrition is about 70% more cost-effective than hospital-based therapy. Although home nutrition is usually considered by children and families to lead to an improvement in their quality of life, the complications of these techniques, including psychological consequences, have to be carefully assessed and prevented.
