Plasma metabolomics changes comparing daytime to overnight infusions of home parenteral nutrition in adult patients with short bowel syndrome: Secondary analysis of a clinical trial. Clin Nutr ESPEN 2024; 62:28-32. [PMID: 38901946 PMCID: PMC11190456 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2024.04.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is often cycled nocturnally and is expected to result in glucose intolerance and sleep disruption partly due to circadian misalignment. This study aimed to define the metabolic response when HPN is cycled during the daytime compared to overnight. METHODS This secondary analysis leveraged samples from a clinical trial in adults with short bowel syndrome consuming HPN (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04743960). Enrolled patients received 1 week of HPN overnight followed by 1 week of HPN during the daytime. Fasting blood samples were collected following each study period and global metabolic profiles were examined from plasma samples. Differential metabolite abundance was determined from normalized and scaled data using adjusted Linear Models for MicroArray Data models followed by pathway enrichment analysis. RESULTS Nine patients (mean age, 52.6 years; 78% female; mean BMI 20.7 kg/m2) provided samples. Among 622 identified metabolites, changes were observed in 36 metabolites at Punadj < 0.05 with higher abundance of fatty acids, long-chain and polyunsaturated fatty acids (Dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid, arachidonate (20:4n6), docosahexaenoate (DHA; 22:6n3)) and glycerolipids with daytime infusions. Enrichment analysis identified changes in pathways related to the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, d-arginine, and d-ornithine metabolism, and linoleic acid metabolism (Punadj<0.05). CONCLUSION Daytime infusions of HPN may result in changes in circulating lipids and amino acid composing metabolic pathways previously implicated in circadian rhythms. As this is the first untargeted metabolomics study of HPN, larger studies are needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Consumers of parenteral nutrition (PN) and their caregivers use social media to seek advice and support from their peers and to share experiences. We aimed to leverage posts from a social media patient community to identify common lived experiences of consumers of PN to prioritize opportunities for support through advocacy, education, and research. METHODS Anonymous posts with high engagement were collected over 4 months from a PN-focused social media support group platform. No personal information was collected or analyzed. Post content was reviewed for demographic characteristics. Thematic analysis involved inductive coding to identify content-based keywords. Keywords were then used to form major themes and subthemes that were then quantified by post counts. RESULTS A total of 306 social media posts were analyzed. Most were from adult PN consumers (80.4%) and pertained to home-based PN (82%). Equivalent number of posts (5%) were from new consumers and those who had not yet started or restarting PN. The analysis revealed 12 major themes with 2-11 subthemes each, spanning medical, nutrition, emotional, and social aspects. The most prevalent theme was "Best practices, care, and safety of PN use" (36.9%), covering posts seeking guidance on line care, personal hygiene, equipment use, and vascular access devices. Others included "Symptoms" (23.9%) and "Patient safety concerns of PN handling by healthcare providers" (16.0%). CONCLUSIONS The identified themes provide a broader understanding of contemporary shared lived experiences and concerns relevant to PN consumers and their caregivers. Given the evolving nature of daily stressors, periodic reanalysis may be necessary.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at increased risk of thrombosis. They often need parenteral nutrition (PN) requiring intravenous access for prolonged periods. We assessed the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) associated with peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) and tunneled catheters for patients with IBD receiving home PN (HPN). METHODS Using the Cleveland Clinic HPN Registry, we retrospectively studied a cohort of adults with IBD who received HPN between June 30, 2019 and January 1, 2023. We collected demographics, catheter type, and catheter-associated DVT (CADVT) data. We performed descriptive statistics and Poisson tests to compare CADVT rates among parameters of interest. We generated Kaplan-Meier graphs to illustrate longevity of CADVT-free survival and a Cox proportional hazard model to calculate the hazard ratio associated with CADVT. RESULTS We collected data on 407 patients, of which, 276 (68%) received tunneled catheters and 131 (32%) received PICCs as their initial catheter. There were 17 CADVTs with an overall rate of 0.08 per 1000 catheter days, whereas individual rates of DVT for PICCs and tunneled catheters were 0.16 and 0.05 per 1000 catheter days, respectively (P = 0.03). After adjusting for age, sex, and comorbidity, CADVT risk was significantly higher for PICCs compared with tunneled catheters, with an adjusted hazard ratio of 2.962 (95% CI=1.140-7.698; P = 0.025) and adjusted incidence rate ratio of 3.66 (95% CI=2.637-4.696; P = 0.013). CONCLUSION Our study shows that CADVT risk is nearly three times higher with PICCs compared with tunneled catheters. We recommend tunneled catheter placement for patients with IBD who require HPN infusion greater than 30 days.

Dashti HS. Sleep and home parenteral nutrition in adults: A narrative review. Nutr Clin Pract 2024. [PMID: 38934221 DOI: 10.1002/ncp.11181] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2024] [Revised: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Infusions of home parenteral nutrition (HPN) are often cycled at night coinciding with sleep episodes. Adult consumers of HPN are known to experience poor sleep attributed to frequent awakenings and long durations of wakefulness after falling asleep. Consequently, most consumers do not meet recommendations for sleep duration and quality or daytime napping. The primary underlying pathophysiology resulting in sleep problems is nocturia; however, other factors also exist, including disruptions caused by medical equipment (ie, pump alarms), comorbid conditions, dysglycemia, and medication use. Early guidance on sleep is imperative because of the central role of sleep in physical health and wellbeing, including mitigating complications, such as infection risk, gastrointestinal problems, pain sensitivity, and fatigue. Clinicians should routinely inquire about the sleep of their patients and address factors known to perturb sleep. Nonpharmacologic opportunities to mitigate sleep problems include education on healthy sleep practices (ie, sleep hygiene); changes in infusion schedules, volumes, rates, and equipment; and, possibly, behavioral interventions, which have yet to be examined in this population. Addressing comorbid conditions, such as mood disorders, and nutrition deficiencies may also help. Pharmacologic interventions and technological advancement in HPN delivery are also needed. Research on sleep in this population is considered a priority, yet it remains limited at this time.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intestinal failure, defined as the loss of gastrointestinal function to the point where nutrition cannot be maintained by enteral intake alone, presents numerous challenges in children, not least the timing of consideration of intestine transplantation. OBJECTIVES To describe the evolution of care of infants and children with intestinal failure including parenteral nutrition, intestine transplantation, and contemporary intestinal failure care. METHODS The review is based on the authors' experience supported by an in-depth review of the published literature. RESULTS The history of parenteral nutrition, including out-patient (home) administration, and intestine transplantation are reviewed along with the complications of intestinal failure that may become indications for consideration of intestine transplantation. Current management strategies for children with intestinal failure are discussed along with changes in need for intestine transplantation, recognizing the difficulty in generalizing recommendations due to the high level of heterogeneity of intestinal pathology and residual bowel anatomy and function. DISCUSSION Advances in the medical and surgical care of children with intestinal failure have resulted in improved transplant-free survival and a significant fall in demand for transplantation. Despite these improvements a number of children continue to fail rehabilitative care and require intestine transplantation as life-saving therapy or when the burden on ongoing parenteral nutrition becomes too great to bear.

Abstract
We present a complex case of a multimorbid elderly patient admitted with septic shock, suspected to be secondary to aspiration pneumonia, who subsequently developed an intestinal obstruction due to an ileocecal junction mass. Despite conservative management, the patient's clinical status deteriorated and required comprehensive palliative care. This case highlights the challenges in managing patients with multimorbidities, the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, and the central role of palliative care in the setting of advanced disease. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the above method to safely transit an elderly male with a recent diagnosis of colon cancer with malignant intestinal obstruction, initiated on total parenteral nutrition (TPN). This study emphasizes the successful implementation of an innovative, multidisciplinary checklist for managing elderly palliative care patients on home total parenteral nutrition (HTPN) in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi. The collaborative approach adopted by the multidisciplinary team (MDT), coupled with comprehensive staff training, patient and caregiver education, and ongoing monitoring and support, facilitated the seamless integration of HTPN into the patient's care plan. The positive outcomes observed in this case underscore the potential of such tailored interventions to bridge the existing gap in HTPN implementation within the region, thus improving the quality of life and overall well-being of elderly patients requiring specialized nutrition support.

Abstract
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a rare disorder with known physical, psychosocial, and economic burdens and significant morbidity and mortality. Many individuals with SBS require long-term home parenteral nutrition (HPN). The incidence and prevalence of SBS is difficult to determine because it is often based on HPN usage and may not account for those who receive intravenous fluids or achieve enteral autonomy. The most common etiologies associated with SBS are Crohn's disease and mesenteric ischemia. Intestinal anatomy and remnant bowel length are prognostic for HPN dependency, and enteral autonomy confers a survival advantage. Health economic data confirm that PN-related costs are higher for hospitalizations than at home; yet significant healthcare resource utilization is necessary for successful HPN, and patients and families report substantial financial distress that impacts quality of life (QOL). An important advancement in QOL measurement is the validation of HPN- and SBS-specific QOL questionnaires. In addition to the known factors negatively impacting QOL, such as diarrhea, pain, nocturia, fatigue, depression, and narcotic dependency, research has shown that the volume and number of PN infusions per week is associated with QOL. Although traditional QOL measurements describe how underlying disease and therapy influence life, they do not assess how symptoms and functional limitations affect the QOL of patients and caregivers. Patient-centered measures and conversation focused on psychosocial issues helps patients with SBS and HPN dependency better cope with their disease and treatment. This article presents a brief overview of SBS, including epidemiology, survival, costs, and QOL.

Abstract
This guideline will inform physicians, nurses, dieticians, pharmacists, caregivers and other home parenteral nutrition (HPN) providers, as well as healthcare administrators and policy makers, about appropriate and safe HPN provision. This guideline will also inform patients requiring HPN. The guideline is based on previous published guidelines and provides an update of current evidence and expert opinion; it consists of 71 recommendations that address the indications for HPN, central venous access device (CVAD) and infusion pump, infusion catheter and CVAD site care, nutritional admixtures, program monitoring and management. Meta-analyses, systematic reviews and single clinical trials based on clinical questions were searched according to the PICO format. The evidence was evaluated and used to develop clinical recommendations implementing Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network methodology. The guideline was commissioned and financially supported by ESPEN and members of the guideline group were selected by ESPEN.

Abstract
Intestinal failure (IF) is a rare disease that requires ongoing intravenous supplementation to sustain growth and health. Advancements in parenteral nutrition (PN) and central venous access in the 1960s and 1970s transformed a life-limiting disease to a chronic one in which patients are able to administer hydration, electrolytes, micronutrients, and macronutrients in the comfort of their home. However, despite ongoing advancements in the field of home PN (HPN), complications-whether related to central venous catheters or PN itself-remain common and can be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Central venous access can be associated with thrombosis, central line-associated bloodstream infection, or damage and can result in loss of access over time. PN can be associated with IF-associated liver disease or hyperglycemia. The key to preserving central venous access and quality of life and maintaining health for patients with chronic IF (CIF) is education focused on prevention and prompt management of CIF complications as they arise. This education typically takes place at the time of initiation of HPN, either in the hospital setting or in the patient's home. The present manuscript describes the historical progression of HPN, prevalence and characteristics of CIF, and an in-depth discussion of the most common catheter-related and PN-related complications and their management, along with a discussion of our education and training process.

Abstract
Introduction Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is essential for patients with intestinal failure requiring long-term nutritional support. The Amerita Quality Improvement Project for HPN Patients (QIP-PN) explored the effect of a physician nutrition expert (PNE)-led multidisciplinary nutritional support team (MNST) on HPN care for patients under its service. Objective To determine an MNST effect on adherence to protocols, outcomes and quality of life (QOL) in HPN. Methods The study was divided into three phases: data review (phases 1a and 1b), observation (phase 2) and intervention (phase 3). Seven Amerita locations were selected as 'study branches' (population), from which all study patients and controls were drawn. The quality improvement project employed a quasi-experimental case-matched control group (control) design. Data were collected on demographics, treating physicians PNE status, HPN care variables, recommended interventions, quality-of-life assessment, adverse outcomes and hospitalisations. Paired t-test compared continuous data between phases 2 and 3. Comparisons between study and control groups used a negative binomial regression model. Results Thirty-four patients were reviewed in phase 1a and 197 in phase 1b. Forty study patients completed phase 2 and progressed into phase 3, of whom 30 completed ≥60 therapy days. Patients were lost to follow-up if they discontinued HPN for any reason. Improvements in weight, body mass index and QOL were seen in the study patients during intervention. Recommendations made and accepted by treating physicians differed based on PNE status. Study patients had fewer adverse outcomes and related hospitalisations than controls. Conclusion MNST recommendations improved clinical, biochemical parameters and patients' self-reported overall health. MNST input reduced adverse outcomes, hospitalisation and the length of stay at the hospital. This study highlights the potential for MNST to have a significant impact on the quality and overall cost of HPN management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Published reports on abnormal body composition in pediatric patients with intestinal failure have been in patients with poor growth. The goal of the current study is to report the body composition of normally growing patients with intestinal failure. METHODS Children 8-18 years old with a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) between January 1, 2013, and July 15, 2018, were included in the study. Data were retrospectively collected from the medical charts and included demographics, residual bowel anatomy, nutrition support, height, and weight. DXA data, including total body less head bone mineral density (BMD), fat mass (FM), and fat-free mass (FFM), were collected and compared with published literature controls matched for age and sex. RESULTS Thirty-four children met inclusion criteria. Mean age at the time of DXA was 9.6 ± 1.8 years. Weight- and height-for-age z-scores were -0.4 ± 0.9 and -0.5 ± 1.0, respectively. Mean BMD z-score was -1.0 ± 1.3. Twenty-six percent of patients (n = 9) had reduced BMD. Patients with intestinal failure had higher FM (P = .02) and lower FFM (P = .02) compared with controls. CONCLUSIONS These data show that, despite reference range z-scores for height and weight, children with intestinal failure are at risk for abnormal body composition. Body composition should be routinely measured in children with intestinal failure to direct nutrition interventions.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In this review, we examine the role for parenteral nutrition (PN) for nutritional support of patients with advanced, incurable cancer with an emphasis on bridging the divide between expectations and reality. RECENT FINDINGS As the rates of cancer have continued to rise worldwide, the utility of PN has continued to be studied. Due to multiple reasons, high-quality research studies have been scarce, and much of the data is based on observational studies. The recent trend appears to support the use of PN in carefully selected patients. Importantly, the effect on quality of life also should be considered when deciding to initiate PN. PN can be a supportive lifeline for patients with advanced, incurable cancer. The medical team should consider each patient individually to decide if PN should be offered. It is of paramount important for the medical team to engage in shared decision-making with the patient and caregiver(s) to ensure that PN is aligned with their goals and wishes.

A detailed analysis of the current status of intestinal transplantation in the middle east. Curr Opin Organ Transplant 2020; 25:169-175.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Intestinal transplantations are among the most complex transplantations, which are performed in few centers in the world. When patients develop intestinal failure, different treatment modalities including parenteral nutrition, autologous gastrointestinal tract reconstructive surgery, and intestinal transplantations are considered. The Middle East is a region where reports on intestinal failures and intestinal transplantations are mainly lacking. In the present review, we highlighted the status of intestinal transplantations in the Middle East and focused on existing reports from this region. RECENT FINDINGS Very few countries in the Middle East have the facilities for home parenteral nutrition and only two countries including Iran and Turkey perform intestinal transplantations in the region. With advances in intestinal rehabilitation units and development of autologous gastrointestinal tract reconstructive surgery, some centers have been able to reduce the number of patients in need of intestinal transplantations. SUMMARY An overview of the condition of intestinal transplantations in the Middle East shows that the issue of intestinal failure and the treatment facilities still remain an unsolved problem. Although there exists a high need for intestinal transplantation, advances in reconstructive surgeries and the development of parenteral nutrition in this region can significantly reduce the need for intestinal transplantations among patients with intestinal failure.

Abstract
This guideline will inform physicians, nurses, dieticians, pharmacists, caregivers and other home parenteral nutrition (HPN) providers, as well as healthcare administrators and policy makers, about appropriate and safe HPN provision. This guideline will also inform patients requiring HPN. The guideline is based on previous published guidelines and provides an update of current evidence and expert opinion; it consists of 71 recommendations that address the indications for HPN, central venous access device (CVAD) and infusion pump, infusion line and CVAD site care, nutritional admixtures, program monitoring and management. Meta-analyses, systematic reviews and single clinical trials based on clinical questions were searched according to the PICO format. The evidence was evaluated and used to develop clinical recommendations implementing Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network methodology. The guideline was commissioned and financially supported by ESPEN and members of the guideline group were selected by ESPEN.

Abstract
The ability to provide parenteral support represents a revolutionary change in medical therapy for patients with temporary and inadequate intestinal absorptive capacity or for patients with chronic intestinal failure due to digestive diseases. Nevertheless, due to the rarity of intestinal failure, a de facto policy of "discrimination by organ failure treatment" exists in many countries whereby this problem is under-recognized and under-treated. With the increasing recognition of the pathophysiological consequences of intestinal resection and the occurrence of new pro-adaptive treatments for patients suffering from short bowel syndrome, this review reflects on the history of developments in this area and discusses current practice and future directions of the field.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Catheter-related blood stream infections (CRBSI) pose a significant risk to patients on home parenteral nutrition (HPN). Recurrent loss of catheters can lead to scarring and eventual loss of central access, a potentially fatal situation for patients dependent on HPN. RECENT FINDINGS In the past, the standard of care to treat these infections required catheter removal. More recently, several studies have indicated that many CRBSI can be treated without removal of the catheter. Successful treatment without removal can be achieved by intentionally following a catheter salvage protocol. We define this as a previously defined protocol to accurately diagnose CRBSI, identify the organism(s) involved, and effectively treat not only the blood stream infection, but also sterilize the catheter. For patients on HPN with CRBSI, consider attempting line salvage if the patient is not suffering from severe sepsis, other infection related complications, or certain specific infections. Success rates vary depending on the organism causing the infection and the risks; benefits and chance of success should be considered when deciding to attempt line salvage.

Abstract
Providing parenteral nutrition at home has significant challenges for both patients and providers alike. Some of these challenges are systemic and are secondary to the way the healthcare system is designed to deliver care. Others are more practical and require educating patients and their families to ensure success at home. Overall, the nutrition support team was designed to help deal with these challenges in an effective way. The changing realities of the modern health system are challenging the nutrition support team to adapt to new obstacles. Providing patients with the tools to succeed at home requires a significant amount of time and investment but will pay dividends in the future as patients thrive for years to come.
