Transition of clinical nutrition parameters. After 3 and 6 months, patients with N-HEN had significantly less body weight loss than CG (3 months P < 0.0001: N-HEN 4.0% vs. CG 15.2%, 6 months P < 0.0001: N-HEN 7.7% vs. CG 17.7%) (A). Regarding prealbumin, it was significantly higher in patients with night home enteral nutrition (N-HEN) than the control group (CG) after 3 and 6 months (3 months P < 0.0001: N-HEN 24.1 mg/dl vs. CG 14.7 mg/dl, 6 months P = 0.0037: N-HEN 22.1 mg/dl vs. CG 16.2 mg/dl) (B). Also, albumin (C), total protein (D) and hemoglobin (F) tended to be higher in patients with N-HEN than CG after 3 and 6 months, and total cholesterol after 6 months (E).
