Abstract

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is a life-saving therapy for patients with chronic intestinal failure but can be associated with a degree of psychological distress. The factors associated with the need for antidepressants (AD) in this cohort have not yet been described.METHODS: The study involved prospective data collection from patients attending HPN clinic at a national intestinal failure referral centre. Patients requiring HPN as a result of active malignancy were excluded. Patients were divided in two groups according to AD usage; demographic, anthropometric, socioeconomic characteristics and IVS regimens were compared between groups.RESULTS: A total of 184 patients were recruited between July 2018 and April 2019, with an overall prevalence of AD use of 41.7%. Daily mean IVS volume was significantly higher among patients taking AD ('AD' group; 2125.48±991.8 ml/day, 'no-AD' group; 1828.54±847.0 ml/day, P = 0.039) with the proportion of patients needing high volume IVS (≥3000ml/day) being three-times higher in the AD group (20.0% vs. 6.1%, P = 0.006). The average energy IVS infusion per day was similar between the two groups. Hypnotic use (25.7% vs. 5.1%, P
