Guidelines for TPN are well established for inpatients and in 2014, guidelines were established for the initiation of TPN for outpatients in a home setting. However, the safety and efficacy of home start TPN in advanced oncology patients remain unknown. This study aims to explore the safety and efficacy of starting TPN in the home setting for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. Method: Health records of advanced cancer patients receiving TPN during 2009\u20132020 were retrospectively reviewed. Data pertaining to diagnosis, demographics, nutritional parameters, and outcomes including hospital readmission rates were collected. Safety was measured based on catheter-related complications and hospital admissions related to electrolyte or fluid imbalance due to TPN. Efficacy was determined by weight gain\/stability and pre-albumin and albumin levels. The Fisher\u2019s exact and Kruskal\u2013Wallis tests were used to analyze the data. Results: Seventy TPN patients were identified, of which forty-two were home start (HS) and twenty-eight were in hospital (HP). The two groups were not significantly different in age, (HS: mean = 58.3 \u00b1 13.9; HP: mean = 58.0 \u00b1 13; p = 0.95), baseline body weight (p = 0.13), baseline albumin (p = 0.26) or pre-albumin (p = 0.48). At the end of treatment, the HS and HP groups had similar percentages of patients experiencing weight gain\/stability (75% vs. 47%, p = 0.1), stable\/increased pre-albumin (68% vs. 65%, p = 1), and stable\/increased albumin levels (48% vs. 59%, p = 0.58). There was no difference in observed readmission between the groups (p = 0.79). At the end of treatment, 48% of the HS group and 36% of the HP group resumed an oral diet. Conclusions: This is the first study to present a comparison between home and hospital start TPN in advanced cancer patients, demonstrating that the initiation of outpatient TPN in the home setting is as safe and efficacious as TPN initiated in the hospital.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers16244272","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,23]],"date-time":"2024-12-23T09:13:38Z","timestamp":1734945218000},"page":"4272","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Safety and Efficacy of Initiating Parenteral Nutrition at Home, Home Start PN, in Advanced Peritoneal Metastasis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6622-3958","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chunmeng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Surgery, Surgical Oncology, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE 68198, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ujwal","family":"Yanala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Surgery, Surgical Oncology, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE 68198, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mounika","family":"Addula","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Creighton University Medical Center, Omaha, NE 68124, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-4779-447X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sherry","family":"Adams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nutrition Support Team, BioScrip Infusion Services, Omaha, NE 68127, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Louise","family":"Ocken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nutrition Support Team, BioScrip Infusion Services, Omaha, NE 68127, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patricia","family":"Skiendziel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nutrition Support Team, BioScrip Infusion Services, Omaha, NE 68127, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tia","family":"Bodkins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nutrition Support Team, BioScrip Infusion Services, Omaha, NE 68127, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jason M.","family":"Foster","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Surgery, Surgical Oncology, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE 68198, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"426","DOI":"10.1200\/JOP.2017.022210","article-title":"Management of Malignant Bowel Obstruction Associated with GI Cancers","volume":"13","author":"Franke","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
