Abstract

La nutrición enteral domiciliaria (NED) es una modalidad de nutrición enteral (NE) con una progresiva extensión en pediatría por los beneficios que supone para el paciente, sus familiares y la disminución de los costes hospitalarios. Sin embargo, se desconoce su verdadero alcance en España ya que el registro creado a tal efecto está aún infrautilizado (Registro de Nutrición Enteral Pediátrica Ambulatoria y Domiciliaria -NEPAD-). La inclusión exhaustiva de pacientes en NEPAD permitiría conocer las características de la NED en España: prevalencia, indicaciones, población a la que se le está administrando, complicaciones y evolución. Así mismo se podría realizar una previsión y planificación de los recursos que se precisan y analizar los que se están utilizando.
Home enteral nutrition (HEN) is a type of enteral nutrition (EN) which is becoming progressively more widespread in pediatrics due to the benefits it affords to patients, their families and to reducing hospital costs. However, the true extent of its use is unknown in Spain as the data-base set up for this purpose is still underused (Registro de Nutrición Enteral Pediátrica Ambulatoria y Domiciliaria -NEPAD-). More thorough registration of patients in the NEPAD online register will provide information about the characteristics of HEN in Spain: prevalence, diagnosis, the population sector being administered HEN, complications and developments. Likewise, forecast and planning of the necessary resources could be made while those in use could be analysed.
