Economic aspects of paediatric home parenteral nutrition.

Abstract
Children account for 15-20% of home parenteral nutrition programmes. Underlying irreversible intestinal diseases lead to potential indications for intestinal transplantation. Therefore, new controversial issues are timing for referring children for transplantation, and comparison between home parenteral nutrition and transplantation in terms of costs and quality of life.
