Over the last 10 years, the Nutrition Unit at Hope Hospital has trained and looked after 76 patients on home parenteral nutrition for a total of 100 patient years. Although 40 per cent of patients have required home parenteral nutrition for 6 months or less one patient has been on treatment for 7 years. The quality of life measured on a 4 point scale was good for the majority of patients. Sepsis and superior vena caval thrombosis are the main problems encountered. Overall mortality rate was 18 per cent and the sepsis rate was 0.14 episodes per patient per year. Home parenteral nutrition is an effective and safe treatment of intestinal failure.
