Abstract
This is the first health economic evaluation and systematic review of survival and QOL for patients with inoperable bowel obstruction receiving HPN during the palliative phase of malignancy. Meta-analyses reveal a short survival and health economic analysis demonstrates high associated costs. This information can be used by clinicians to inform and guide selection of patients in this cohort for HPN treatment.
