[Severe small bowel involvement and chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction in systemic sclerosis (scleroderma): Pathophysiological, diagnostic and therapeutic basis, including parenteral nutrition]. Rev Med Interne 2024; 45:147-155. [PMID: 38388303 DOI: 10.1016/j.revmed.2024.02.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2023] [Revised: 01/15/2024] [Accepted: 02/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024]
Abstract
Gastrointestinal involvement in systemic sclerosis can be severe, reaching the critical point of chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction, secondary to major disorders of small bowel motility. It is associated with some clinical and biological characteristics, in particular the positivity of anti-fibrillarin/U3RNP antibodies. Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is complicated by a small intestinal bacterial overgrowth that requires cyclic antibiotic therapy. CIPO leads to a reduction of the food intake, due to painful symptoms, nausea and vomiting caused by meals, and ultimately to severe malnutrition. Meal splitting is often transiently effective and patients require exogenous nutritional support, mostly parenteral. Systemic sclerosis is not an obstacle to initiation and long-term continuation of parenteral nutrition and central venous catheter implantation is not associated with an increased risk of cutaneous or infectious complications. However, continuation of long-term parenteral nutrition requires monitoring in an expert nutrition center in order to adapt nutritional volumes and intakes and to limit potentially fatal cardiac and hepatobiliary complications. In addition to nutrition, prokinetic treatments, whose side effects must be known, can be associated. Invasive procedures, whose risk-benefit ratio must be carefully assessed, can also be used to treat symptoms exclusively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS In 2016, ESPEN published the guideline for Chronic Intestinal Failure (CIF) in adults. An updated version of ESPEN guidelines on CIF due to benign disease in adults was devised in order to incorporate new evidence since the publication of the previous ESPEN guidelines. METHODS The grading system of the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) was used to grade the literature. Recommendations were graded according to the levels of evidence available as A (strong), B (conditional), 0 (weak) and Good practice points (GPP). The recommendations of the 2016 guideline (graded using the GRADE system) which were still valid, because no studies supporting an update were retrieved, were reworded and re-graded accordingly. RESULTS The recommendations of the 2016 guideline were reviewed, particularly focusing on definitions, and new chapters were included to devise recommendations on IF centers, chronic enterocutaneous fistulas, costs of IF, caring for CIF patients during pregnancy, transition of patients from pediatric to adult centers. The new guideline consist of 149 recommendations and 16 statements which were voted for consensus by ESPEN members, online in July 2022 and at conference during the annual Congress in September 2022. The Grade of recommendation is GPP for 96 (64.4%) of the recommendations, 0 for 29 (19.5%), B for 19 (12.7%), and A for only five (3.4%). The grade of consensus is "strong consensus" for 148 (99.3%) and "consensus" for one (0.7%) recommendation. The grade of consensus for the statements is "strong consensus" for 14 (87.5%) and "consensus" for two (12.5%). CONCLUSIONS It is confirmed that CIF management requires complex technologies, multidisciplinary and multiprofessional activity, and expertise to care for the underlying gastrointestinal disease and to provide HPN support. Most of the recommendations were graded as GPP, but almost all received a strong consensus.

Mortality and parenteral nutrition weaning in patients with chronic intestinal failure on home parenteral nutrition: A 30-year retrospective cohort study. Nutrition 2023; 107:111915. [PMID: 36566610 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2022.111915] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2022] [Revised: 11/06/2022] [Accepted: 11/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is the standard treatment for patients with chronic intestinal failure (CIF). Mortality and weaning rates of these patients differ widely among cohorts; however, these outcomes were often considered independent-rather than competing-events, leading to an upward bias of the retrieved estimates. OBJECTIVES The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to evaluate, evaluating through a competing risk analysis, the rates and predictors of mortality and weaning in CIF patients from an Italian referral center. METHODS All adult patients with CIF receiving > 3 mo HPN from 1985 until 2016 were enrolled. Clinical information was collected from the database of the Intestinal Failure Unit of Torino, Italy. Patients were stratified according to the presence or not of short bowel syndrome (SBS). RESULTS The cumulative incidences of death and weaning were 27.3% and 32.3% and 39.0% and 33.7% at 5 and 10 y from HPN initiation, respectively. At multivariable competing risk analyses, mortality was predicted by age (sub-distribution hazard ratio [SHR] = 1.65 per 10-y increase; 95% CI, 1.35-2.01), type 3 SBS (SHR = 0.38; 0.15-0.94), small bowel length ≥ 100 cm (SHR = 0.42; 0.22-0.83), and reconstructive surgery (SHR = 0.11; 0.02-0.64) in SBS patients, and by age (SHR = 1.38 per 10-y increase; 1.16-1.64) and presence of stoma (SHR = 0.30; 0.12-0.78) in non-SBS patients. In the same model, weaning was predicted by type 3 SBS (SHR = 6.86; 3.10-15.16), small bowel length ≥ 100 cm (SHR = 3.54; 1.99-6.30), and reconstructive surgery (SHR = 2.86; 1.44-5.71) in SBS patients, and by age (SHR = 0.79 per 10-y increase; 0.66-0.94) and presence of stoma (SHR = 2.64; 1.38-5.07) in non-SBS patients. CONCLUSIONS Surgical procedures strongly affected mortality and weaning risk in CIF patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical and psychosocial outcomes of a multimodal surgical approach for chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction were analyzed in 24 patients who were followed over a 2- to 12-year period in a single center after surgery or intestinal/multivisceral transplant (CTx). METHODS The main reasons for surgery were sub-occlusion in surgery and parenteral nutrition-related irreversible complications with chronic intestinal failure in CTx. RESULTS At the end of follow-up (February 2015), 45.5% of CTx patients were alive: after transplantation, improvement in intestinal function was observed including a tendency toward recovery of oral diet (81.8%) with reduced parenteral nutrition support (36.4%) in the face of significant mortality rates and financial costs (mean, 202.000 euros), frequent hospitalization (mean, 8.8/re-admissions/patient), as well as limited effects on pain or physical wellness. CONCLUSIONS Through psychological tests, transplant recipients perceived a significant improvement of mental health and emotional state, showing that emotional factors were more affected than were functional/cognitive impairment and social interaction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstructive (CIPO) conditions are considered the most severe disorders of gut motility. They continue to present significant challenges in clinical care despite considerable recent progress in our understanding of pathophysiology, resulting in unacceptable levels of morbidity and mortality. Major contributors to the disappointing lack of progress in paediatric CIPO include a dearth of clarity and uniformity across all aspects of clinical care from definition and diagnosis to management. In order to assist medical care providers in identifying, evaluating, and managing children with CIPO, experts in this condition within the European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition as well as selected external experts, were charged with the task of developing a uniform document of evidence- and consensus-based recommendations. METHODS Ten clinically relevant questions addressing terminology, diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic topics were formulated. A systematic literature search was performed from inception to June 2017 using a number of established electronic databases as well as repositories. The approach of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) was applied to evaluate outcome measures for the research questions. Levels of evidence and quality of evidence were assessed using the classification system of the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (diagnosis) and the GRADE system (treatment). Each of the recommendations were discussed, finalized, and voted upon using the nominal voting technique to obtain consensus. RESULTS This evidence- and consensus-based position paper provides recommendations specifically for chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction in infants and children. It proposes these be termed paediatric intestinal pseudo-obstructive (PIPO) disorders to distinguish them from adult onset CIPO. The manuscript provides guidance on the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of children with PIPO in an effort to standardise the quality of clinical care and improve short- and long-term outcomes. Key recommendations include the development of specific diagnostic criteria for PIPO, red flags to alert clinicians to the diagnosis and guidance on the use of available investigative modalities. The group advocates early collaboration with expert centres where structured diagnosis and management is guided by a multi-disciplinary team, and include targeted nutritional, medical, and surgical interventions as well as transition to adult services. CONCLUSIONS This document is intended to be used in daily practice from the time of first presentation and definitive diagnosis PIPO through to the complex management and treatment interventions such as intestinal transplantation. Significant challenges remain to be addressed through collaborative clinical and research interactions.

Abstract
Although chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a rare disorder, it presents a wide spectrum of severity that ranges from abdominal bloating to severe gastrointestinal dysfunction. In the worst cases, patients may become dependent upon artificial nutrition via parenteral nutrition or choose to have an intestinal transplant. However, whatever the severity, a patient's quality of life can be seriously compromised. This article defines the disorder and discusses the spectrum of disease and challenges to providing adequate nutrition to help improve a patient's quality of life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Chronic Intestinal Failure (CIF) is the long-lasting reduction of gut function, below the minimum necessary for the absorption of macronutrients and/or water and electrolytes, such that intravenous supplementation is required to maintain health and/or growth. CIF is the rarest organ failure. Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is the primary treatment for CIF. No guidelines (GLs) have been developed that address the global management of CIF. These GLs have been devised to generate comprehensive recommendations for safe and effective management of adult patients with CIF. METHODS The GLs were developed by the Home Artificial Nutrition & Chronic Intestinal Failure Special Interest Group of ESPEN. The GRADE system was used for assigning strength of evidence. Recommendations were discussed, submitted to Delphi rounds, and accepted in an online survey of ESPEN members. RESULTS The following topics were addressed: management of HPN; parenteral nutrition formulation; intestinal rehabilitation, medical therapies, and non-transplant surgery, for short bowel syndrome, chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction, and radiation enteritis; intestinal transplantation; prevention/treatment of CVC-related infection, CVC-related occlusion/thrombosis; intestinal failure-associated liver disease, gallbladder sludge and stones, renal failure and metabolic bone disease. Literature search provided 623 full papers. Only 12% were controlled studies or meta-analyses. A total of 112 recommendations are given: grade of evidence, very low for 51%, low for 39%, moderate for 8%, and high for 2%; strength of recommendation: strong for 63%, weak for 37%. CONCLUSIONS CIF management requires complex technologies, multidisciplinary and multiprofessional activity, and expertise to care for both the underlying gastrointestinal disease and to provide HPN support. The rarity of the condition impairs the development of RCTs. As a consequence, most of the recommendations have a low or very low grade of evidence. However, two-thirds of the recommendations are considered strong. Specialized management and organization underpin these recommendations.

[PMID: 26608226 PMCID: PMC4913632 DOI: 10.1111/jvim.13652] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2015] [Revised: 09/02/2015] [Accepted: 09/24/2015] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intestinal leiomyositis is a suspected autoimmune disorder affecting the muscularis propria layer of the gastrointestinal tract and is a cause of chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction in humans and animals. OBJECTIVE To characterize the clinical presentation, histopathologic features, and outcome of dogs with intestinal leiomyositis in an effort to optimize treatment and prognosis. ANIMALS Six client-owned dogs. METHODS Retrospective case series. Medical records were reviewed to describe signalment, clinicopathologic and imaging findings, histopathologic diagnoses, treatment, and outcome. All biopsy specimens were reviewed by a board-certified pathologist. RESULTS Median age of dogs was 5.4 years (range, 15 months-9 years). Consistent clinical signs included vomiting (6/6), regurgitation (2/6), and small bowel diarrhea (3/6). Median duration of clinical signs before presentation was 13 days (range, 5-150 days). Diagnostic imaging showed marked gastric distension with dilated small intestines in 4/6 dogs. Full-thickness intestinal biopsies were obtained in all dogs by laparotomy. Histopathology of the stomach and intestines disclosed mononuclear inflammation, myofiber degeneration and necrosis, and fibrosis centered within the region of myofiber loss in the intestinal muscularis propria. All dogs received various combinations of immunomodulatory and prokinetic treatment, antimicrobial agents, antiemetics, and IV fluids, but none of the dogs showed a clinically relevant improvement with treatment. Median survival was 19 days after diagnosis (range, 3-270 days). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE Intestinal leiomyositis is a cause of intestinal pseudo-obstruction and must be diagnosed by full-thickness intestinal biopsy. This disease should be considered in dogs with acute and chronic vomiting, regurgitation, and small bowel diarrhea.

Abstract
Intestinal pseudo-obstruction is more commonly known in its chronic form (CIPO), a cluster of rare diseases characterized by gastrointestinal muscle and nerve impairment, so severe to result in a markedly compromised peristalsis mimicking an intestinal occlusion. The management of CIPO requires the cooperation of a group of specialists: the disease has to be confirmed by a number of tests to avoid mistakes in the differential diagnosis. The treatment should be aimed at relieving symptoms arising from gut dysmotility (ideally using prokinetic agents), controlling abdominal pain (possibly with non-opioid antinociceptive drugs) and optimizing nutritional support. Furthermore, a thorough diagnostic work-up is mandatory to avoid unnecessary (potentially harmful) surgery and to select patients with clear indication to intestinal or multivisceral transplantation.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) results in markedly compromised peristalsis mimicking an intestinal occlusion. The main goals of CIPO management are to improve intestinal propulsion and to maintain adequate nutrition status. The review describes the global management of CIPO including methods of diagnosis and nutritional, pharmacological and surgical therapies. RECENT FINDINGS The principles of CIPO management are to perform a physiological assessment of the gastrointestinal tract involved, to improve symptoms and to prevent malnutrition. We shall discuss the place of physiological motility tests such as intestinal manometry and the cine-magnetic resonance imaging to facilitate diagnosis. Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is a frequently used therapy with a high dependence level. However, recent data are consistent with a good long-term prognosis. Currently, CIPO becomes a significant cause of chronic intestinal failure. We discuss the outcomes of HPN and surgery. SUMMARY CIPO is a rare and complex disease. Small bowel manometry remains a gold standard for diagnosis, but new imaging tools appear promising. The management of CIPO requires the cooperation of specialists involved in the intestinal failure field. The better knowledge of CIPO prognosis should encourage clinicians to propose intestinal transplantation in selected cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a recurrent disorder caused by intestinal dysmotility. Although, CIPO is not a surgically remediable condition, surgery is a common issue in CIPO patients. The aim of this study was to assess postoperative morbidity and mortality of patients operated on for CIPO and risk of re-operation. METHODS Adult patients that have undergone surgery for CIPO since 1980 were included in this retrospective study using a prospective database. Postoperative morbidity, according to Clavien-Dindo classification and CIPO-related re-operation rates were evaluated with univariate and multivariate analysis. KEY RESULTS Sixty-three patients (33 women, median age 37 [range: 15-79] years) were included. Median follow-up was 6 (0.2-28) years. Overall postoperative mortality rate was 7.9%. Overall morbidity rate was 58.2% (Clavien-Dindo ≥3 in 20.7%) leading to re-operation in 17% of cases. In multivariate analysis, major postoperative morbidity (Clavien-Dindo ≥3) was significantly increased when there was an intraoperative bowel injury (HR = 15.7 [2.4-102], P = 0.004), idiopathic CIPO (HR = 4.2 [1.5-12], P = 0.007) and emergency procedure (HR = 3 [1.3-6.8]. After the first surgery, probabilities of CIPO-related re-operation were 44%, 60%, and 66% at 1, 3, and 5 years respectively. In multivariate analysis, CIPO-related reoperation for CIPO was significantly increased when there was a major postoperative morbidity (HR = 2.1 [1.1-4.4], P = 0.040) and intraoperative bowel injury (HR = 33.1 [2-553], P = 0.015) after the first procedure. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES The surgical management of CIPO patients was associated with high postoperative morbidity and mortality rates and frequent re-operation. Attempts should be made to avoid surgery when possible and optimize nutritional status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No appropriate management of chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIP) has been established. PATIENTS AND METHODS The clinicopathological parameters of 103 cases collected by a nationwide questionnaire study were reviewed. RESULTS The CIP cases were primary in 86 (83%) cases and secondary in 15 (15%) cases. The age of onset of the primary type was significantly younger than that of the secondary type (p = 0.011). The diseased segments of the bowel were the large bowel in 60 (58%), the small bowel in 17 (17%), and both in 23 (22%) cases, respectively. Abdominal distension and pain were common symptoms regardless of the types of the diseased bowel; however, constipation was frequently seen in the large bowel type (p = 0.0258). Vomiting and diarrhea were seen with marginally higher frequency in the small bowel type (p = 0.0569, 0.0642). Surgical treatment was most effective in the large bowel type, less effective in the small bowel type, and least effective in the large and small bowel type. The prognosis of the primary CIP was significantly better than that of the secondary CIP (p = 0.033). CONCLUSIONS The segments of the diseased bowels should be considered in determining the indications for surgical treatments in CIP patients.

Abstract
CIPO is the very “tip of the iceberg” of functional gastrointestinal disorders, being a rare and frequently misdiagnosed condition characterized by an overall poor outcome. Diagnosis should be based on clinical features, natural history and radiologic findings. There is no cure for CIPO and management strategies include a wide array of nutritional, pharmacologic, and surgical options which are directed to minimize malnutrition, promote gut motility and reduce complications of stasis (ie, bacterial overgrowth). Pain may become so severe to necessitate major analgesic drugs. Underlying causes of secondary CIPO should be thoroughly investigated and, if detected, treated accordingly. Surgery should be indicated only in a highly selected, well characterized subset of patients, while isolated intestinal or multivisceral transplantation is a rescue therapy only in those patients with intestinal failure unsuitable for or unable to continue with TPN/HPN. Future perspectives in CIPO will be directed toward an accurate genomic/proteomic phenotying of these rare, challenging patients. Unveiling causative mechanisms of neuro-ICC-muscular abnormalities will pave the way for targeted therapeutic options for patients with CIPO.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate changes in mechanic and electrical activities in intestinal smooth muscle and the phenotypes of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in mice with partial intestinal obstruction.
METHODS: A mouse model of partial mechanical ileal obstruction was induced by surgery. The histochemical technique was used to investigate morphological changes in the distended intestinal regions of model mice 14 d after surgical induction. Mechanic and electric activities were recorded in normal and distended intestinal circular muscle using conventional physiological and intracellular recording techniques. The expression of c-kit, an ICC phenotype marker, was examined by fluorescent immunohistochemistry.
RESULTS: Fourteen days after surgical induction, there was an increase in intestinal diameter and hypertrophy of the tunica muscularis. Decreased frequency and altered rhythm of spontaneous contractions of intestinal smooth muscle were noted. The amplitude and frequency of slow waves and resting membrane potential decreased significantly. The expression of ICC was significantly down-regulated.
CONCLUSION: The changes in spontaneous rhythmic contractions and the slow waves are associated with the phenotype alterations of ICC in mice with partial intestinal obstruction.
