Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the bone health of pediatric patients with short bowel syndrome intestinal failure (SBS-IF). DATA SOURCE An integrative literature review was performed using the data published in the MEDLINE-PubMed and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) databases between January 2010 and April 2021, and through a manual search of the reference lists of relevant studies. Studies were included if they assessed bone mineral density by the Dual X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) technique, incorporated pediatric patients (up to 20 years of age) with SBS under parenteral nutrition (PN) and were written in English. Eleven primary sources met the inclusion criteria for this study. DATA SYNTHESIS Pediatric patients with SBS-IF under long-term parenteral nutrition experienced frequent changes in bone metabolism, leading to osteoporotic fractures and growth failure. These patients have deficiencies in multiple nutrients, such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and vitamin D. Consequently, there are variations in the secretion and regulation of the parathyroid hormone. In addition, the pharmacotechnical limitations related to calcium and phosphorus in the PN solution, use of glucocorticoids, and difficulty performing physical activity are risk factors for the development of metabolic bone disease in pediatric patients with SBS-IF. CONCLUSIONS Low bone mineral density was associated with a high risk of developing osteoporosis, fractures, and growth deficiency in pediatric patients with SBS-IF on PN therapy in the long term.

[PMID: 38057017 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2023.10.008] [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: 04/04/2023] [Revised: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is the leading cause of chronic intestinal failure. The duration of parenteral support (PS) and the long-term micronutrient needs in children with SBS vary, based on their clinical and anatomical characteristics. Our study aimed to review the clinical course and identify high risk patient groups for prolonged PS and long-term micronutrient supplementation. METHODS A retrospective review was conducted on electronic medical records of children with SBS and chronic intestinal failure who were enrolled in the multidisciplinary intestinal rehabilitation program at Manchester Children's Hospital, UK. Children were included in the review if they required PN for more than 60 days out of 74 consecutive days and had at least 3 years of follow-up. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 24.0. RESULTS 40 children with SBS achieved enteral autonomy (EA) and 14 remained dependent on PS after 36 months of follow up. Necrotizing enterocolitis was the most common cause for intestinal resection (38.9%) followed by gastroschisis (22.2%), malrotation with volvulus (20.4%), segmental volvulus (9.3%) and long segment Hirschsprung disease (1.9%). Those who achieved EA had significantly longer intestinal length 27.5% (15.0-39.3) than those who remained on PS 6.0% (1.5-12.5) (p < 0.001). Type I SBS was only found in the PS cohort. Median PN dependence was 10.82 months [IQR 5.73-20.78]. Congenital diagnosis was associated with longer PN dependence (21.0 ± 20.0) than acquired (8.7 ± 7.8 months), (p = 0.02). The need for micronutrient supplementation was assessed after the transition to EA; 87.5% children had at least one micronutrient depletion, most commonly Vitamin D (64.1%), followed by iron (48.7%), Vitamin B12 (34.2%), and vitamin E (28.6%). Iron deficiency and vitamin A depletion were correlated with longer PS after multivariate analysis (OR: 1.103, 1.006-1.210, p = 0.037 and OR: 1.048, 0.998-1.102, p = 0.062 respectively). CONCLUSION In our cohort, small bowel length was the main predictor for EA. Children on longer PS, had more often a congenital cause of resection and were at risk for micronutrient deficiencies in EA.

Abstract
Objective To determine the prevalence of secondary hyperparathyroidism in a cohort of pediatric patients receiving home parenteral nutrition. Methods For a service review, a population-based cohort of 37 pediatric intestinal failure patients receiving long-term parenteral nutrition that underwent serial biochemical monitoring during a study period of approximately 4 years were examined. Following the production of an algorithm, a follow-up audit was carried out (n = 33) after approximately 6 months. Results Of the 37 patients examined in the initial service review, 22 (59%) were found to have an elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) during the period of monitoring and 5 (14%) had a persistently elevated PTH. In the follow-up audit following the implementation of an algorithm, the number with elevated PTH reduced to 6 (18%) and no patients had persistently high levels. Conclusion Elevated PTH is a common biochemical finding in pediatric intestinal failure patients receiving home parenteral nutrition and its presence should alert clinicians to the need to optimize nutritional parameters such as calcium to phosphate molar ratio and vitamin D status; failure to do so may increase the future burden of metabolic bone disease in such patients. We propose that an algorithm may help in this endeavor.

Abstract
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is the leading cause of intestinal failure (IF) in children. The preferred treatment for IF is parenteral nutrition which may be required until adulthood. The aim of this position paper is to review the available evidence on managing SBS and to provide practical guidance to clinicians dealing with this condition. All members of the Nutrition Committee of the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) contributed to this position paper. Some renowned experts in the field joined the team to guide with their expertise. A systematic literature search was performed from 2005 to May 2021 using PubMed, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. In the absence of evidence, recommendations reflect the expert opinion of the authors. Literature on SBS mainly consists of retrospective single-center experience, thus most of the current papers and recommendations are based on expert opinion. All recommendations were voted on by the expert panel and reached >90% agreement. This second part of the position paper is dedicated to the long-term management of children with SBS-IF. The paper mainly focuses on how to achieve intestinal rehabilitation, treatment of complications, and on possible surgical and medical management to increase intestinal absorption.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Longitudinal changes in bone health in children with intestinal failure (IF) are unclear. We aimed to better understand the trajectory of bone mineral status over time in children with IF and identify clinical factors that influence the trajectory. METHODS Clinical records of patients attending the Intestinal Rehabilitation Center of Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center between 2012 and 2021 were reviewed. Children diagnosed with IF before age 3 years with at least two lumbar spine dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scans were included. We abstracted information on medical history, parenteral nutrition, bone density, and growth. We calculated bone density z scores with and without adjustment for height z scores. RESULTS Thirty-four children with IF met inclusion criteria. Children were shorter than average with a mean height z score of -1.5 ± 1.3. The mean bone density z score was -1.5 ± 1.3 with 25 of the cohort having a z score < -2.0. After height adjustment, the mean bone density z score was -0.42 ± 1.4 with 11% below -2.0. Most dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scans (60%) had a feeding tube artifact. Bone density z scores increased slightly with age and lower parenteral nutrition dependency and were higher in scans without an artifact. Etiologies of IF, line infections, prematurity, and vitamin D status were not associated with height-adjusted bone density z scores. CONCLUSION Children with IF were shorter than expected for age. Deficits in bone mineral status were less common when adjusting for short stature. Etiologies of IF, prematurity, and vitamin D deficiency were not associated with bone density.

Impact of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation on Nutritional Status and Intake in Children. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr 2022; 75:675-682. [PMID: 35994021 PMCID: PMC9584058 DOI: 10.1097/mpg.0000000000003592] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to describe the impact of allogeneic/haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation on nutritional status and intake in a group of children aged 2 to 18 years. METHODS In an observational study, data were collected prospectively. Patients were prescribed individual nutritional support by hospital routines. Anthropometrics were measured pre-transplant at hospital admission and weekly from the day of transplant (day 0) until day +28. z scores for weight, height, and BMI were calculated using Norwegian growth references to assess nutritional status. Pre-transplant diet was assessed on the day of hospitalization. Nutrient provision from enteral nutrition (EN = oral and tube) and parenteral nutrition (PN) was assessed by daily records from day +1 until day +28, or previous discharge, and compared with recommendations (RI) from the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations and ESPGHAN guidelines. Total energy intake was presented as the percentage (%) of basal metabolic rate (BMR) calculated by the Schofield equation. Macro- and micronutrient provisions were presented as medians (interquartile range) and the % of RI. RESULTS Twenty-eight patients, mean age 10.3 years (range 3.5-16.6), were included. Two-thirds (n = 18) had malignant diseases. At admission, mean weight Z-score was -0.3, height z scores -0.7, and BMI Z-score 0.1. Eighteen percent (n = 5) were stunted and 25% (n = 7) had overweight. At admission, 25% (n = 7) had established tube feeding, and 7% (n = 2) also had PN. No significant changes in weight z scores were detected during the studied weeks ( P = 0.454). The median daily energy provision was 115% (110-123) of BMR and proteins 1.5 (1.3-1.8) g/kg. EN was provided during a median of 93% of the studied days and provided 21% of the energy. PN was given on a median of 96% of the studied days and provided 79% of energy. RI for vitamins, magnesium, and zinc was met. Provision of copper, iodine, selenium, calcium, and phosphate was below RI. CONCLUSIONS Combined EN and PN providing 115% of BMR and 1.5 g/kg protein ensured stable weight by day +28 and covered RI, except for trace elements and minerals.

Abstract
Skeletal growth and bone health are very important in children. The effective role of vitamin D in bone mineral density has been observed in children and adolescents. This systematic review study evaluated the effects of vitamin D on bone density in healthy children with the help of valid databases and the website of clinical trials. The results of experimental, clinical, retrospective, prospective, double-blind, and randomized studies were used. Articles that appropriately covered the topic and had the proper content structure were selected for this review. Out of a total of 132 articles, finally, 13 articles were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria for further study, the results of which show the association between serum levels of vitamin D and bone mineral density and health. However, in some articles, the relationship between other influential variables such as age and nutrition on bone density in children was identified. In general, the current systematic review demonstrates the role of vitamin D on bone density in healthy children, so that in children studied, vitamin D is at different levels and complications related to bone density are observed in many children. It is recommended that more clinical and longitudinal studies be performed to further understand the role of vitamin D levels in bone health in children.

Metabolic Bone Disease in Children with Intestinal Failure and Long-Term Parenteral Nutrition: A Systematic Review. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14050995. [PMID: 35267970 PMCID: PMC8912854 DOI: 10.3390/nu14050995] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2022] [Revised: 02/20/2022] [Accepted: 02/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
Metabolic bone disease (MBD) is a possible complication of intestinal failure (IF), with a multi-factorial pathogenesis. The reduction of bone density (BMD) may be radiologically evident before manifestation of clinical signs (bone pain, vertebral compression, and fractures). Diagnosis relies on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Incidence and evolution of MBD are not homogeneously reported in children. The aim of this systematic review was to define the prevalence of MBD in IF children and to describe risk factors for its development. A comprehensive search of electronic bibliographic databases up to December 2021 was conducted. Randomized controlled trials; observational, cross-sectional, and retrospective studies; and case series published between 1970 and 2021 were included. Twenty observational studies (six case-control) were identified and mostly reported definitions of MBD based on DXA parameters. Although the prevalence and definition of MBD was largely heterogeneous, low BMD was found in up to 45% of IF children and correlated with age, growth failure, and specific IF etiologies. Data demonstrate that long-term follow-up with repeated DXA and calcium balance assessment is warranted in IF children even when PN dependence is resolved. Etiology and outcomes of MBD will be better defined by longitudinal prospective studies focused on prognosis and therapeutic perspectives.
