Nutritional/Growth Status in a Large Cohort of Medically Fragile Children Receiving Long‐Term Enteral Nutrition Support

Abstract

In medically fragile children, ENS does not ensure adequate growth per se. ENS requires highly specialized and individually tailored management and in many cases regular adjustments. Long-term tube feeding plans often seem unable to ensure the required amount of nutritional support, which surely compromise the individual efficacy of ENS.
