From the author: This study represents a nation survey of all children identified on home parenteral nutrition (HPN) in Sweden via all hospital pharmacy distributors. Indications for HPN from this sample were chronic intestinal pseudo obstruction (n=5) and short bowel syndrome (n=7). Linear growth was normal in 9 children and all school-age children attend classes at age-relevant levels. Families appear to have adapted well. There was one divorce among these families, and over the course of the HPN child's illness, younger siblings were born.
