Abstract

Tube feeding is a therapeutic intervention that is aimed at providing nutritional support and is important in the nutritional and gastrointestinal management of children with neurological disability (ND) worldwide. Since the publication of the first European Society of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) consensus paper in 2017, some aspects of tube-feeding modalities have attracted the interest of the scientific community more than others, including the type of enteral formulas, enteral access, and the challenging practice of tube weaning. The purpose of this review was to report on the most recent hot topics and new directions in tube-feeding strategies for children with ND.
