Abstract
A prospective record of all patients receiving home parenteral nutrition (HPN) in Tayside since 1980 has been used to audit the effect of experience and specific policy changes on HPN related complications. Total HPN related complications fell significantly over the years from 1.59 complications per treatment year during the initial 5 years of HPN experience to the current rate of 0.36 complications per treatment year. Specific policy changes, such as modification of the glucose concentration of feed, could also be shown to produce a significant benefit in the reduction of complications. Increasing experience with HPN results in a fall in complication rates, however, continuous audit of HPN is essential to determine the effect of policy changes on complication rates.
