Current status of pediatric home enteral nutrition in Spain: the importance of the NEPAD register. Nutr Hosp. 2010;25(5):810-3.0212-1611http://hdl.handle.net/10668/450Artículo original.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.enHome enteral nutritiononline pediatric registred NEPADNutrición enteral domiciliariaRegistro pediátrico online.NEPADMedical Subject Headings::Health Care::Health Care Facilities, Manpower, and Services::Health Personnel::CaregiversMedical Subject Headings::Named Groups::Persons::Age Groups::ChildMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases::Nutrition Disorders::Child Nutrition DisordersMedical Subject Headings::Phenomena and Processes::Physiological Phenomena::Nutritional Physiological Phenomena::Child Nutritional Physiological PhenomenaMedical Subject Headings::Named Groups::Persons::Age Groups::Child::Child, PreschoolMedical Subject Headings::Check Tags::FemaleMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Animals::Chordata::Vertebrates::Mammals::Primates::Haplorhini::Catarrhini::Hominidae::HumansMedical Subject Headings::Check Tags::MaleMedical Subject Headings::Health Care::Health Care Facilities, Manpower, and Services::Health Services::Community Health Services::Home Care Services::Parenteral Nutrition, HomeMedical Subject Headings::Health Care::Population Characteristics::PopulationMedical Subject Headings::Health Care::Health Care Quality, Access, and Evaluation::Quality of Health Care::Health Care Evaluation Mechanisms::Data Collection::Records as Topic::RegistriesMedical Subject Headings::Geographicals::Geographic Locations::Europe::Spainresearch article21336440open access10.3305/nh.2010.25.5.44711699-5198
