A QOL assessment tool has been developed and validated specifically for patients with intestinal failure.
The objective was to study the effects of early sequential EN therapy and early non-sequential enteral nutrition therapy on the nutritional status, recovery, and quality of life of patients who undergo postoperative chemotherapy for esophageal cancer.
Examination of the effectiveness of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy or other enteral tube feeding in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, compared to oral feeds without enteral tube feeding on survival, nutritional status and quality of life.

The incidence and prevalence of short bowel syndrome is difficult to determine because it is often based on home parenteral nutrition usage and may not account for those who receive intravenous fluids or achieve enteral autonomy.
Individuals and their families who require home enteral nutrition undergo major changes in family dynamics. They would benefit from an approach that provides ongoing nutrition, hydration, enteral access, and quality of life assessments from knowledgeable clinicians.
