The nutritional response to home enteral nutrition (HEN) was evaluated in a prospective study of 44 consecutive children (median age 48 months) who received HEN for more than 1 month (median duration 6 months). Three groups were studied: 17 children were stunted, 14 were wasted and 13 were adequately nourished but unlikely to maintain oral intake during anticipated nutritional stress. In the stunted group (median duration of HEN 15 months) there was a significant correlation between improvements in height-for-age z scores and duration of feeds (r = 0.63; p = 0.006). In the wasted group (median duration of HEN 4 months) all anthropometric indices improved significantly (p < 0.05). HEN was also successful in maintaining nutritional status in the third group. Thus, supplementary HEN is an effective method of nutritional support for a variety of indications, provided concurrent advice from a nutritional care team is available.
