Abstract
Outcomes for patients with chronic intestinal failure have improved with organization of experts into multidisciplinary teams delivering care in intestinal rehabilitation programs. There have been improvements in understanding of intestinal failure complications as well as development of newer therapies that have amplified the improvements in survival. In spite of this encouraging trend, patients who fail PN are often referred too late for intestinal transplantation. The author proposes a more rational framework that might allow earlier identification of intestinal failure patients at risk for PN-failure, who could appropriately be considered earlier for intestinal transplantation with improvements in overall outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION SBS is a rare and disabling condition. The standard management is based on diet optimization with parenteral supplementation. In addition, glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2)analogs, have shown promising results as disease-modifying therapies for SBS. AREAS COVERED Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is defined as a reduction in functional intestinal length to less than 200 cm, leading to intestinal failure (IF) leading to malnutrition and parenteral support dependency. This review discusses the current management of SBS-CIFpatients, the place of GLP-2 analog treatment in terms of efficacy, safety and availability, and the new perspectives opened by the use of enterohormones. EXPERT OPINION Clinical trials and real-world experience demonstrated that Teduglutide reduces dependence on parenteral support and has a place in the management of patients with SBS-CIF. The use of Teduglutide should be discussed in patients stabilized after resection and its introduction requires the advice of an expert center capable of assessing the benefit-risk ratio. The complex, individualized management of SBS-C IF requires theexpertise of a specialized IF center which a multidisciplinary approach. The arrival of new treatments will call for new therapeutic strategies, and the question of how to introduce and monitor them will represent a new therapeutic challenge.

Am J Clin Nutr 2024; 119:1187-1199. [PMID: 38431119 PMCID: PMC11130673 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajcnut.2024.02.031] [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: 09/03/2023] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Short bowel syndrome with intestinal failure (SBS-IF) is a rare but devastating medical condition. An absolute loss of bowel length forces the patients into parenteral support dependency and a variety of medical sequelae, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. Interdisciplinary treatment may include therapy with the effective but expensive intestinotrophic peptide teduglutide. OBJECTIVES A time-discrete Markov model was developed to simulate the treatment effect [lifetime costs, quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), and life years (LYs)] of teduglutide plus best supportive care compared with best supportive care alone in patients with SBS-IF. METHODS The health status of the model was structured around the number of days on PS. Clinical data from 3 data sets were used: 1) an Austrian observational study (base case), 2) pooled observational cohort studies, and 3) a prospective study of teduglutide effectiveness in parenteral nutrition-dependent short bowel syndrome subjects. Direct and indirect costs were derived from published sources. QALYs, LYs, and costs were discounted (3% per annum). RESULTS Under the base case assumption, teduglutide is associated with costs of 2,296,311 € per patient and 10.78 QALYs (13.74 LYs) over a lifetime horizon. No teduglutide is associated with 1,236,816 € and 2.24 QALYs (8.57 LYs). The incremental cost-utility ratio (ICUR) amounts to 123,945 €. In case of the pooled clinical data set, the ICUR increases to 184,961 €. If clinical data based on the study of teduglutide effectiveness in parenteral nutrition-dependent short bowel syndrome subjects were used, the ICUR increased to 235,612 €. CONCLUSIONS Teduglutide in treating patients with SBS-IF meets the traditional cost-effectiveness criteria from a European societal perspective. Nevertheless, the varying concentrations of teduglutide efficacy leave a degree of uncertainty in the calculations.

Abstract
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a rare gastrointestinal disorder associated with intestinal failure (SBS-IF) and poor health-related outcomes. Patients with SBS-IF are unable to absorb sufficient nutrients or fluids to maintain significantly metabolic homeostasis via oral or enteral intake alone and require long-term intravenous supplementation (IVS), consisting of partial or total parenteral nutrition, fluids, electrolytes, or a combination of these. The goal of medical and surgical treatment for patients with SBS-IF is to maximize intestinal remnant absorptive capacity so that the need for IVS support may eventually be reduced or eliminated. Daily subcutaneous administration of the glucagon-like peptide 2 analog, teduglutide, has been shown to be clinically effective in reducing IVS dependence and potentially improving the health-related quality of life of patients with SBS-IF. The management of patients with SBS-IF is complex and requires close monitoring. This narrative review discusses the use of teduglutide for patients with SBS-IF in clinical practice. The screening of patient eligibility for teduglutide treatment, initiation, monitoring of efficacy and safety of treatment, adapting or weaning off IVS, and the healthcare setting needed for SBS-IF management are described, taking into consideration data from clinical trials, observational studies, and clinical experience.

Abstract
Patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS) are often managed by expert multidisciplinary teams. One of the main goals in the management of SBS is the weaning of parenteral support (PS). Weaning of PS removes the risks associated with long-term central line placement and eliminates the need for intestinal transplant. Whereas several papers detail the ongoing care and management of patients with SBS who are dependent on PS, there are few reports discussing the successful weaning of PS in this patient population. We present five case studies examining weaning of PS in adult patients with <60-cm small bowel and partial or full colon who were enrolled in a multidisciplinary adult intestinal rehabilitation program. The case studies demonstrate weaning can occur >2 years after initial assessment and enrollment in an expert program. The ability of the program to focus on individualized care and frequent patient communication is key to PS weaning in patients with SBS.

Insights into acute mesenteric ischaemia: an up-to-date, evidence-based review from a mesenteric stroke centre unit. Br J Radiol 2023; 96:20230232. [PMID: 37493183 PMCID: PMC10607400 DOI: 10.1259/bjr.20230232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2023] [Revised: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 07/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Radiologists play a central role in the diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of patients with acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI). Unfortunately, more than half of AMI patients undergo imaging with no prior suspicion of AMI, making identifying this disease even more difficult. A confirmed diagnosis of AMI is ideally made with dynamic contrast-enhanced CT but the diagnosis may be made on portal-venous phase images in appropriate clinical settings. AMI is diagnosed on CT based on the identification of vascular impairment and bowel ischaemic injury with no other cause. Moreover, radiologists must evaluate the probability of bowel necrosis, which will influence the treatment options.AMI is usually separated into different entities: arterial, venous, non-occlusive and ischaemic colitis. Arterial AMI can be occlusive or stenotic, the dominant causes being atherothrombosis, embolism and isolated superior mesenteric artery (SMA) dissection. The main finding in the bowel is decreased wall enhancement, and necrosis can be suspected when dilatation >25 mm is identified. Venous AMI is related to superior mesenteric vein (SMV) thrombosis as a result of a thrombophilic state (acquired or inherited), local injury (cancer, inflammation or trauma) or underlying SMV insufficiency. The dominant features in the bowel are hypoattenuating wall thickening with submucosal oedema. Decreased enhancement of the involved bowel suggests necrosis. Non-occlusive mesenteric ischaemia (NOMI) is related to impaired SMA flow following global hypoperfusion associated with low-flow states. There are numerous findings in the bowel characterised by diffuse extension. An absence of bowel enhancement and a thin bowel wall suggest necrosis in NOMI. Finally, ischaemic colitis is a sub-entity of arterial AMI and reflects localised colon ischaemia-reperfusion injury. The main CT finding is a thickened colon wall with fat stranding, which seems to be unrelated to SMA or inferior mesenteric artery lesions. A precise identification and description of vascular lesions, bowel involvement and features associated with transmural necrosis is needed to determine patient treatment and outcome.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION After extensive small and colon resections, quality of life can be affected. We propose the antiperistaltic transverse coloplasty as a solution that allows for preservation of the transverse colon after both right and left colectomies while achieving a tension-free colorectal anastomosis slowing the transit and increasing the absorption time, resulting in better stool consistency and quality of life compared with an ileorectal anastomosis. METHODS This technique was performed in a 41-year-old woman with Goblet cell adenocarcinoma of the appendix with peritoneal metastasis. The transverse colon is rotated anticlockwise over the axis of the middle colic vessels toward the left parietocolic flank and relocated to the usual position of the descending colon. RESULTS After 1 year of follow-up, the patient led a normal life without parenteral nutrition with five bowel movements per day and a weight gain of 15%. CONCLUSIONS The use of an antiperistaltic transverse coloplasty may be worthwhile to perform in cases of extensive bowel resections during cytoreductive surgery leading to short-bowel syndrome to avoid a permanent stoma or intestinal failure and improve patient outcomes.

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.

Abstract
Amyloidosis is a heterogeneous disease characterized by tissue deposition of abnormally folded fibrillary proteins that can manifest itself by a wide variety of symptoms depending on the affected organs. GI involvement among amyloidosis patients is common. Its clinical manifestation often presents with nonspecific symptoms such as weight loss, diarrhea, and malabsorption. With no specific treatment existing for GI amyloidosis, therapy focuses on impeding amyloid deposition and managing the patients' symptoms with supportive measures. Here, we present an AL-amyloidosis patient with GI involvement and intestinal failure (IF) who was successfully treated with the glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) analogue teduglutide. Over the course of treatment with teduglutide, the patient was able to achieve independence from parenteral nutrition and experienced a significant improvement in quality of life (QoL) as stool frequency and consistency improved, urinary output was stabilized and body weight as well as body composition improved over the course of teduglutide therapy. With no longer being exposed to the burden and associated risks of parenteral nutrition, we were able to reduce the potential morbidity and mortality rate as well as to improve the patient's overall QoL. Intestinal tissue biopsy workup revealed a histopathological correlate for the clinical response; Congo-Red-positive intestinal depositions almost completely disappeared within 6 months of teduglutide therapy. Implementing intestinotrophic GLP-2 analogue teduglutide may enrich the spectrum of treatment options for amyloidosis patients with IF who are dependent on parenteral support.

Abstract
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a rare condition defined as a reduced residual functional small intestinal length to less than 200 cm often resulting from extensive intestinal resection, and can lead to chronic intestinal failure (CIF). Patients with SBS-CIF are unable to absorb sufficient nutrients or fluids to maintain metabolic homeostasis through oral or enteral intake and require long-term parenteral nutrition and/or fluids and electrolytes. However, complications may arise from both SBS-IF and life-sustaining intravenous support, such as intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD), chronic renal failure, metabolic bone disease and catheter-related complications. An interdisciplinary approach is required to optimize intestinal adaptation and decrease complications. In the last two decades, glucagon-like peptide 2 (GLP-2) analogs have sparked pharmacological interest as a potential disease-modifying therapy for SBS-IF. Teduglutide (TED) is the first developed and marketed GLP-2 analog for SBS-IF. It is approved in the United States, Europe, and Japan for use in adults and children with SBS-IF who are intravenous supplementation dependent. This article discusses the indications, candidacy criteria and results of the use of TED in patients with SBS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM In short bowel syndrome, insufficient absorptive capacity of the remnant bowel may lead to metabolic and nutritional consequences including electrolyte disturbances, severe diarrhea and malnutrition. While intestinal failure requires parenteral nutrition, short bowel patients with intestinal insufficiency (SB/II) have achieved oral autonomy. The aim of this exploratory study was to assess the nutritional, muscular and functional status of orally compensated SB/II patients. METHODS 28 orally compensated SB/II patients with a mean of 46 months after termination of parenteral nutrition and 56 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HC) were compared regarding anthropometric parameters, body composition using bioelectrical impedance analysis, handgrip strength and gait speed, blood parameters as well as nutritional intake and physical activity using validated questionnaires. Malnutrition and sarcopenia were diagnosed according to the criteria of the GLIM or EWGSOP2. RESULTS SB/II patients had lower body mass index (BMI) and anthropometric parameters than HC but were within the normal weight range. The GLIM algorithm operationally diagnosed malnutrition in 39% (n = 11) of SB/II patients. Reduced skeletal muscle mass index and phase angle were rarely accompanied by a reduction of handgrip strength below cut-off values and the subsequent diagnosis of sarcopenia in SB/II patients (15%, n = 4). Compared to 11% of HC, 37% of SB/II patients had low physical activity level. Female SB/II patients had higher caloric and macronutrient intake. Caloric intake negatively correlated with body weight indicating compensatory hyperphagia in patients with lower body weight. Some of the SB/II patients showed signs of dehydration. CONCLUSIONS Orally compensated SB/II patients are thinner than HC but have mostly normal BMI. Malnutrition is frequently diagnosed but may be overestimated due to the underlying malabsorption and its interplay with hyperphagia. Muscle mass is often reduced but is rarely accompanied by functional impairment leading to sarcopenia diagnosis. Thus, SB/II patients long term after termination of parenteral support may be malnourished but usually do not develop sarcopenia.

Abstract
Intestinal failure (IF) is a complex medical condition that is caused by a constellation of disorders, resulting in the gut's inability to adequately absorb fluids and nutrients to sustain hydration, growth, and survival, thereby requiring the use of parenteral fluid and/or nutrition. Significant advancements in intestinal rehabilitation have resulted in improved survival rates for individuals with IF. There are distinct differences, however, related to etiology, adaptive potential and complications, and medical and surgical management when comparing children with adults. The purpose of this review is to contrast the similarities and differences between these two distinct groups and provide insight for future directions, as a growing population of pediatric patients will cross into the adult world for IF management.

Abstract
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is the most common cause of chronic intestinal failure, requiring home parenteral support (intravenous fluid, parenteral nutrition, or parenteral nutrition with intravenous fluid) to compensate for severe malabsorption. The loss of mucosal absorptive area after extensive intestinal resection is accompanied by an accelerated transit and hypersecretion. Changes in physiology and clinical outcomes differ between patients with SBS with or without the distal ileum and/or colon-in-continuity. This narrative review summarizes the treatments used in SBS, with a focus on novel approaches with intestinotrophic agents. During the early postoperative years, spontaneous adaptation occurs and can be induced or accelerated with conventional therapies, which include dietary and fluid modifications and antidiarrheal and antisecretory drugs. Based on the proadaptive role of enterohormones (eg, glucagon-like peptide [GLP]-2), analogues have been developed to allow enhanced or hyperadaptation after a period of stabilization. Teduglutide is the first GLP-2 analogue developed and commercialized with proadaptive effects resulting in reduced parenteral support needs; however, the potential for weaning of parenteral support is variable. Whether early treatment with enterohormones or accelerated hyperadaptation would further improve absorption and outcomes remains to be shown. Longer-acting GLP-2 analogues are currently being investigated. Encouraging reports with GLP-1 agonists require confirmation in randomized trials, and dual GLP-1 and GLP-2 analogues have yet to be clinically investigated. Future studies will prove whether the timing and/or combinations of different enterohormones will be able to break the ceiling of intestinal rehabilitation in SBS.

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
The term "short bowel syndrome (SBS)" defines "the clinical feature associated with a remaining small bowel in continuity of less than 200 cm from the ligament of Treitz" and is characterized by malabsorption, diarrhea, fatty stools, malnutrition, and dehydration. SBS is the primary pathophysiological mechanism of chronic intestinal failure (CIF), defined as the "reduction of gut function below the minimum necessary for the absorption of macronutrients and/or water and electrolytes, such that intravenous supplementation (IVS) is required to maintain health and/or growth" in a metabolically stable patient. By contrast, the reduction of gut absorptive function that does not require IVS has been termed "intestinal insufficiency or deficiency" (II/ID). The classification of SBS can be categorized as follows: anatomical (anatomy and length of the residual bowel), evolutional (early, rehabilitative, and maintenance phases), pathophysiological (SBS with or without a colon in continuity), clinical (with II/ID or CIF), and severity of CIF (type and volume of the required IVS). Appropriate and homogeneous patient categorization is the mainstay of facilitating communication in clinical practice and in research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Quality of life (QoL) data of chronic intestinal failure (cIF) patients treated with the GLP-2 analogue teduglutide are scarce. This study aims to analyze QoL changes over time in teduglutide-treated patients and compare the results to a matched non-treated cIF control group in a real-world setting. METHODS QoL data (SF-36 and SBS-QoLTM) were obtained from adult cIF patients being treated with teduglutide and compared to previously collected QoL data from a PNLiver trial (DRKS00010993), during which patients had been therapy naive. The dataset was then extended by a pairwise matched control group (non-teduglutide-treated PNLiver trial patients) and follow-up data from this group were collected accordingly. RESULTS Median teduglutide treatment duration and the follow-up period of controls were both 4.3 years. SBS-QoLTM subscales and the SBS-QoLTM sum score showed significant improvements over time in teduglutide-treated patients, as well as for the SF-36 physical and mental component summary scores (all p < 0.02), while non-treated patients showed no significant changes in any of the mentioned scores. Significant differences of QoL changes between treated and non-treated patients were seen for both SF-36 summary scores (p = 0.031 and 0.012). CONCLUSIONS We herein demonstrate for the first time that QoL significantly improved during teduglutide treatment in SBS-cIF patients in a real-world setting compared to individually matched non-treated SBS-cIF patients, indicating relevant clinical benefits.

Abstract
Intestinal failure is defined as the inability to absorb the minimum of macro and micronutrients, minerals and vitamins due to a reduction in gut function. In a subpopulation of patients with a dysfunctional gastrointestinal system, treatment with total or supplemental parenteral nutrition is required. The golden standard for the determination of energy expenditure is indirect calorimetry. This method enables an individualized nutritional treatment based on measurements instead of equations or body weight calculations. The possible use and advantages of this technology in a home PN setting need critical evaluation. For this narrative review, a bibliographic search is performed in PubMed and Web of Science using the following terms: 'indirect calorimetry', 'home parenteral nutrition', 'intestinal failure', 'parenteral nutrition', 'resting energy expenditure', 'energy expenditure' and 'science implementation'. The use of IC is widely embedded in the hospital setting but more research is necessary to investigate the role of IC in a home setting and especially in IF patients. It is important that scientific output is generated in order to improve patients' outcome and develop nutritional care paths.

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.

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 Early nutritional treatment is crucial for the care of patients with operable and advanced gastrointestinal malignancies. Therefore, much research has focused on nutritional support for patients with gastrointestinal malignancies. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the global scientific output and activity with respect to nutritional support and gastrointestinal malignancy. METHODS We searched in Scopus for publications on gastrointestinal cancer and nutritional assistance published between January 2002 and December 2021. Then, using VOSviewer 1.6.18 and Microsoft Excel 2013, we conducted bibliometric analysis and visualization. RESULTS A total of 906 documents were published between 2002 and 2021, including 740 original articles (81.68%) and 107 reviews (11.81%). China ranked first (298 publications, 32.89%), Japan ranked second (86 publications, 9.49%) and the USA ranked third (84 publications, 9.27%). The organisation with the highest number of publications was the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College from China, with 14 articles, followed by the Peking Union Medical College Hospital from China and the Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron from Spain (13 publications for each). Before 2016, most studies focused on 'nutrition support for patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery'. However, the latest trends showed that 'nutrition support and clinical outcomes in gastrointestinal malignancies' and 'malnutrition in patients with gastrointestinal cancer' would be more widespread in the future. CONCLUSIONS This review is the first bibliometric study to provide a thorough and scientific analysis of gastrointestinal cancer and nutritional support trends worldwide over the last 20 years. This study can aid researchers in decision-making by helping them understand the frontiers and hotspots in nutrition support and gastrointestinal cancer research. Future institutional and international collaboration is expected to accelerate the advancement of gastrointestinal cancer and nutritional support research and investigate more efficient treatment methods.

Abstract
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a rare gastrointestinal condition that is defined as having less than 200 cm of remaining small intestine. SBS results from extensive surgical resection and is associated with a high risk for intestinal failure (IF) with a need for parenteral support (PS). Depending on the region of intestinal resection, three different main anatomy types can be distinguished from each other. In this review, we synthesize the current knowledge on the role of the colon in the setting of SBS-IF with a colon-in-continuity (SBS-IF-CiC), e.g., by enhancing the degree of intestinal adaptation, energy salvage, and the role of the microbiota. In addition, the effect of the disease-modifying treatment with glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) analogs in SBS-IF-CiC and how it differs from patients without a colon will be discussed. Overall, the findings explained in this review highlight the importance of preservation of the colon in SBS-IF.

[PMID: 36771328 PMCID: PMC9921538 DOI: 10.3390/nu15030622] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2022] [Revised: 01/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/21/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Home parenteral support (HPS) is an essential but potentially burdensome treatment that can affect quality of life (QoL). The aims of this longitudinal study were to understand whether any changes in HPS over time were associated with QoL. The Parenteral Nutrition Impact Questionnaire (PNIQ) was used, and data were collected on HPS prescribed at three time points. Data were analysed using multi-level mixed regression models presented as effect size and were adjusted for confounders. Study recruited 572 participants from 15 sites. Of these, 201 and 145 completed surveys at second and third time-points, respectively. PNIQ score was out of 20 with a higher score indicating poorer QoL. Any reduction in HPS infusions per week was associated with an improved PNIQ score of -1.10 (95% CI -2.17, -0.02) unadjusted and -1.34 (95% CI -2.45, -0.24) adjusted. Per day change to the number of infusions per week was associated with a change in the PNIQ score of 0.32 (95% CI -0.15, 0.80) unadjusted and 0.34 (95% CI -0.17, 0.85) adjusted. This is the largest national study to demonstrate improvements in QoL associated with HPS reduction over time using an HPS-specific and patient-centric tool, adding unique data for use of therapies in intestinal failure.

Malnutrition with Low Muscle Mass Is Common after Weaning off Home Parenteral Nutrition for Chronic Intestinal Failure. Nutrients 2023; 15:nu15020338. [PMID: 36678209 PMCID: PMC9860702 DOI: 10.3390/nu15020338] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2022] [Revised: 01/07/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
The differences in outcomes after weaning off intravenous support (IVS) for chronic intestinal failure (IF) are unclear. Adult IF patients who are weaned off IVS at a tertiary care center (June 2019−2022) were included in this study, and nutritional and functional markers were assessed before, during, and after weaning. Short bowel syndrome (SBS) was present in 77/98 of the IF patients, with different outcomes according to the final anatomy. The body weight and the BMI increased during IVS in those with a jejunocolonic (JC) anastomosis (p < 0.001), but weight loss was significant during follow-up (p < 0.001). Malnutrition was present in >60%, with a reduced muscle mass, which was found using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), in >50% of SBS-JC patients. Although reduced hand-grip strength and sarcopenia were less common, the muscle quality, or phase angle (BIA), decreased during follow-up, also correlating with serum albumin and muscle mass (p ≤ 0.01). The muscle quality and albumin were low in the patients restarting IVS, which was only the case with ≤60 cm of small bowel. Closer follow-up and earlier treatment with teduglutide (TED) should be considered in these patients, as none of the TED-treated patients were malnourished or sarcopenic. Studies on the potential benefits of nutritional and physical interventions for low muscle mass and associations with outcomes are needed in chronic IF patients.

Fecal microbiota transplantation in a rodent model of short bowel syndrome: A therapeutic approach? Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2023; 13:1023441.

Abstract
Extensive intestinal resection leads to Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS), the main cause of chronic intestinal failure. Colon preservation is crucial for spontaneous adaptation, to improve absorption and reduce parenteral nutrition dependence. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), a promising approach in pathologies with dysbiosis as the one observed in SBS patients, was assessed in SBS rats with jejuno-colonic anastomosis. The evolution of weight and food intake, the lenght of intestinal villi and crypts and the composition of fecal microbiota of Sham and SBS rats, transplanted or not with high fat diet rat microbiota, were analyzed. All SBS rats lost weight, increased their food intake and exhibited jejunal and colonic hyperplasia. Microbiota composition of SBS rats, transplanted or not, was largely enriched with Lactobacillaceae, and α- and β-diversity were significantly different from Sham. The FMT altered microbiota composition and α- and β-diversity in Sham but not SBS rats. FMT from high fat diet rats was successfully engrafted in Sham, but failed to take hold in SBS rats, probably because of the specific luminal environment in colon of SBS subjects favoring aero-tolerant over anaerobic bacteria. Finally, the level of food intake in SBS rats was positively correlated with their Lactobacillaceae abundance. Microbiota transfer must be optimized and adapted to this specific SBS environment.

Abstract
Extensive bowel resection can lead to short bowel syndrome and intestinal failure. Resection-induced dysbiosis may be related to the specific anatomic site of resection and influences the disease progression. Although patients with end-jejunostomy are at high risk for intestinal failure, preservation of the ileocecal valve and colon counteracts this risk. The present study investigated the role of the cecum in maintaining microbial homeostasis after different types of small bowel resection. Male C57BL6/J mice were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of ketamine-xylazine and received extended ileocecal resection (extended ICR), limited ileocecal resection (limited ICR), or mid-small bowel resection (SBR). Stool samples were collected before surgery and between postoperative days 2-7, for 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Only extended ICR, but neither limited ICR nor SBR, induced intestinal insufficiency. α-Diversity was reduced in both ICR variants but not after SBR. All resections resulted in an increase in Proteobacteria. Pathobionts, such as Clostridia, Shigella, and Enterococcus, increased after SBR while Muribaculaceae, Lactobacillus, and Lachnospiraceae decreased. Limited ICR resulted in an increase of members of the Clostridium sensu stricto group, Terrisporobacter and Enterococcus and a decrease of Muribaculaceae. The increase of Enterococcus was even more pronounced after extended ICR while Muribaculaceae and Akkermansia were dramatically reduced. Both ICR variants caused a decrease in steroid biosynthesis and glycosaminoglycan degradation-associated pathways, suggesting altered bile acid transformation and mucus utilization.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Resection-induced dysbiosis affects disease progression in patients with short bowel syndrome. Severe dysbiosis occurs after removal of the ileocecal valve, even in the absence of short bowel conditions, and is associated with the loss of Muribaculaceae and Akkermansia and an increase of Clostridium and Enterococcus. The preservation of the cecum should be considered in surgical therapy, and dysbiosis should be targeted based on its specific anatomical signature to improve postoperative bacterial colonization.

Clin Nutr 2022; 41:2446-2454. [PMID: 36215864 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2022.09.010] [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: 05/29/2022] [Revised: 08/27/2022] [Accepted: 09/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Long term outcomes have been reported in home parenteral nutrition (HPN)-dependent patients with type 3 intestinal failure (IF), but there are limited survival data standardised to the general population that would help provide a meaningful prognosis for patients and clinicians. The primary aim of this study was therefore to investigate the survival of HPN-dependent patients and to evaluate the specific impact of type 3 IF on their life expectancy standardised to that of the general population. METHODS This was a cohort study of adult patients initiated on HPN between 1978 and 2018 at a national UK IF reference centre and followed up until death or censoring date of 31st December 2020. The standardised mortality ratio (SMR) was calculated as observed deaths divided by expected deaths using UK Office for National Statistics database. Excess Life Years Lost (LYL) were calculated separately for each sex as the differences in average life expectancy between patients with type 3 IF and the general population. Survival data were evaluated using cox regression models adjusting for confounding. RESULTS In total, 1046 patients were identified, with a total observation time of 7344.1 patient-years. Patients with malignancy (n = 206) were excluded from the survival analysis. Of the remaining 840 patients, 398 were alive by the end of follow-up. The probability of survival was 91.8% at 1 year, 69.3% at 5 years, 54.3% at 10 years, 29.8% at 20 years and 16.7% at 30 years. Patients who did not achieve nutritional autonomy had an increased likelihood of death compared to patients who ceased HPN. In total, 40 (9.0%) deaths were HPN or IF-related, while underlying disease leading to IF accounted for 98 (22.2%) deaths. There were 270 (61.1%) deaths not related to IF, with the majority of these patients dying from infections unrelated to HPN. Overall mortality rates were higher among patients with a diagnosis of type 3 IF compared with the general UK population with a SMR of 7.48 (95% CI 6.80 to 8.21) and an excess mortality rate of 54.0 per 1000 person-years. All mechanisms of IF were associated with excess mortality, with SMR ranging from 6.82 (95% CI 5.98 to 7.72) for short bowel syndrome to 15.51 (95% CI 11.73 to 20.03) for dysmotility. On average, the excess LYL was 17.45 years for males and 17.39 years for females compared with the general population of the same age. CONCLUSION This the largest single-centre series reporting survival outcomes in patients with type 3 IF over more than a four-decade period and the first to report LYL in this patient cohort. Type 3 IF was associated with more than seven-fold higher mortality rates than for the general UK population and shorter life expectancies of more than 17 years. Survival, however, was better in those able to achieve nutritional autonomy. Since the majority of deaths were due to non-HPN or non-IF causes, there is clearly a need now to further explore these causes of death in order to improve our understanding of excessive mortality in type 3 IF and develop ways to prevent it.

Abstract
Short bowel syndrome (SBS), a condition defined by insufficient absorptive intestinal epithelium, is a rare disease, with an estimated prevalence up to 0.4 in 10,000 people. However, it has substantial morbidity and mortality for affected patients. The mainstay of treatment in SBS is supportive, in the form of intravenous parenteral nutrition, with the aim of achieving intestinal autonomy. The lack of a definitive curative therapy has led to attempts to harness innate developmental and regenerative mechanisms to engineer neo-intestine as an alternative approach to addressing this unmet clinical need. Exciting advances have been made in the field of intestinal tissue engineering (ITE) over the past decade, making a review in this field timely. In this Review, we discuss the latest advances in the components required to engineer intestinal grafts and summarize the progress of ITE. We also explore some key factors to consider and challenges to overcome when transitioning tissue-engineered intestine towards clinical translation, and provide the future outlook of ITE in therapeutic applications and beyond.

Abstract
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is the main cause of chronic intestinal failure (IF), defined as 'the 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'. SBS is a rare disease requiring a multidisciplinary approach in specialized IF units. The aim of this review was to discuss the current pharmacological management of SBS-associated IF, since emerging treatments are currently modifying the natural evolution of these patients. Enterohormone therapy has become the first-choice treatment and may decrease the need for parenteral support and improve patients' quality of life.

Chronic Intestinal Failure in Children: An International Multicenter Cross-Sectional Survey. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14091889.

Abstract
Background: The European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism database for chronic intestinal failure (CIF) was analyzed to investigate factors associated with nutritional status and the intravenous supplementation (IVS) dependency in children. Methods: Data collected: demographics, CIF mechanism, home parenteral nutrition program, z-scores of weight-for-age (WFA), length or height-for-age (LFA/HFA), and body mass index-for-age (BMI-FA). IVS dependency was calculated as the ratio of daily total IVS energy over estimated resting energy expenditure (%IVSE/REE). Results: Five hundred and fifty-eight patients were included, 57.2% of whom were male. CIF mechanisms at age 1−4 and 14−18 years, respectively: SBS 63.3%, 37.9%; dysmotility or mucosal disease: 36.7%, 62.1%. One-third had WFA and/or LFA/HFA z-scores < −2. One-third had %IVSE/REE > 125%. Multivariate analysis showed that mechanism of CIF was associated with WFA and/or LFA/HFA z-scores (negatively with mucosal disease) and %IVSE/REE (higher for dysmotility and lower in SBS with colon in continuity), while z-scores were negatively associated with %IVSE/REE. Conclusions: The main mechanism of CIF at young age was short bowel syndrome (SBS), whereas most patients facing adulthood had intestinal dysmotility or mucosal disease. One-third were underweight or stunted and had high IVS dependency. Considering that IVS dependency was associated with both CIF mechanisms and nutritional status, IVS dependency is suggested as a potential marker for CIF severity in children.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a debilitating condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Historically, SBS patients require indefinite parenteral nutrition (PN) and endure lifelong nutritional challenges. The purpose of this study was to review the outcomes, specifically nutritional independence, of a multidisciplinary nutrition service. METHODS A retrospective analysis of SBS patients followed by our surgical nutrition service was performed. Patients without 1-year follow-up were excluded. Demographics and nutritional parameters were collected at 4 intervals: initial presentation, 1-year, 2-year, and 5-year follow-up. Short bowel syndrome anatomical subtypes identified through operative reports were characterized as end jejunostomy, jejunocolonic, or jejuno-ileocolonic with ileo-cecal valve intact. Intestinal failure was defined by the requirement of PN, while intestinal insufficiency was defined by enteral support requirement. Clinical outcomes examined included mortality, fistula closure, and nutritional independence. RESULTS The study cohort comprised 89 patients, 50 of whom had ≤ 100 cm intestinal length. Mean age was 57 ± 17y, 55 (62%) were female, and median initial intestinal length was 77 [60-120] cm. Short bowel syndrome was complicated by fistulas in 47 (53%) of patients. Overall mortality was 13%, and 67 (75%) were liberated from PN. A total of 58 (65%) underwent operative intervention and fistula closure was achieved in 37 of 47 (79%) patients. CONCLUSIONS Short bowel syndrome patients can experience significant benefit under treatment by a multidisciplinary nutrition service. By incorporating surgical intervention, the majority of patients previously relegated to lifelong PN have the opportunity to become nutritionally independent within 5 years.

Changes in Parenteral Nutrition Requirements and BMI in Patients with Parenteral Nutrition-Dependent Short Bowel Syndrome after Stopping Teduglutide-9 Years of Follow-Up. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14081634. [PMID: 35458196 PMCID: PMC9024979 DOI: 10.3390/nu14081634] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2022] [Revised: 04/09/2022] [Accepted: 04/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Teduglutide (TED) is widely used in patients with short-bowel-syndrome-associated intestinal failure (SBS-IF) to enhance intestinal adaptation and reduce the need for parenteral support (PS). There are limited data on the effects of discontinuing TED. In this study, we describe the changes in parenteral nutrition (PN) requirements and body mass index (BMI) in a 9-year follow-up of patients receiving home parenteral nutrition after discontinuation of the TED treatment. We performed a retrospective analysis of changes in weekly PN orders and BMI in all patients with PN-dependent SBS from two Polish home parenteral nutrition (HPN) centers who received teduglutide between 2009 and 2013 and still required HPN 9 years after discontinuation of the TED treatment. Data included in the analysis were collected prospectively at mandatory visits to the HPN centers at 12, 24, 60, 84, and 108 months after drug discontinuation and compared with values before and after TED treatment. Weekly PN volume values varied significantly between all of the above time points from baseline to 9 years after TED discontinuation (χ2 = 34.860, p < 0.001). After an initial increase within the first year after treatment discontinuation (not statistically significant), the PN volume requirements remained stable for 4 years and increased 5−9 years after treatment discontinuation. The rate of patients requiring an increase in PN volume was 84.62% at 60 and 84 months and 92.30% at 108 months. At 9 years after cessation of the TED treatment, 53.85% of the study group required a 21.21% increase in PN volume compared with values before treatment. The need for PN volume in patients with PN-dependent SBS who discontinued the TED treatment increased within the first year and 4−5 years after treatment cessation, and in some cases might even exceed pretreatment values after 9 years.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Short bowel syndrome (SBS) patients are at risk to develop intestinal failure when the decreased absorption of macronutrients, water, and electrolytes necessitates parenteral support for survival. The adverse effects of SBS and parenteral support negatively affect the quality of life (QoL) of SBS-intestinal failure patients. However, spontaneous intestinal adaptation along with disease-modifying therapies allow reducing parenteral support, thereby improving QoL. RECENT FINDINGS During the first years following extensive surgery, spontaneous structural and functional intestinal changes take place which stimulate a more efficient nutrient and fluid absorption in the remaining bowel. Given their potential role in the ileal braking mechanism, enterohormones, such as glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-2, GLP-1, and peptide YY (PYY), promote an accelerated adaptation or hyperadaptation. While the exact role of GLP-1 and PYY in SBS is still being explored, GLP-2 analogs have clearly shown to be effective in improving outcome in SBS. SUMMARY Whereas spontaneous intestinal adaptation improves the nutritional status of SBS patients to a certain extent, GLP-2 analogs can further decrease parenteral support needs through hyperadaptation. There are, however, other promising candidates on the horizon that - alone or in combination - could possibly establish additional disease-modifying effects.

Long-Term Outcomes in Patients with Intestinal Failure Due to Short Bowel Syndrome and Intestinal Fistula. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14071449. [PMID: 35406061 PMCID: PMC9003376 DOI: 10.3390/nu14071449] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Revised: 03/28/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) and enterocutaneous or enteroatmospheric fistulas are common indications for home parenteral nutrition (HPN). However, there are few data describing factors influencing surgical decision-making or outcomes particularly following fistula development. We aimed to compare outcomes between patients with SBS and fistulas and explore surgical decision-making. HPN-dependent adults from 2001−2018 at a national reference centre were included in this study. HPN cessation was analysed using death as competing risk. In total, 465 patients (SBS (62%), fistula (38%)) were included, with median HPN dependency of 2.6 years. In total, 203 patients underwent reconstructive surgery; while frailty was the commonest reason for not undergoing surgery (49.2%), 22.7% declined surgery. Overall, 170 ceased HPN, with a probability of 13.8%, 34.1% and 38.3% at 1, 5 and 10 years, respectively. Patients undergoing surgery had higher nutritional autonomy rates (109.8 incidences/1000 patient years) compared to those not undergoing surgery (18.1 incidences/1000 patient years; p < 0.001). A total of 295 patients (63.4%) were predicted to cease HPN based on gastrointestinal anatomy but only 162/295 (54.9%) achieved this; those unable to do so were older with a higher comorbidity index. There were no differences in long-term nutritional and survival outcomes or surgical decisions between patients with SBS and fistulas, or between enterocutaneous and enteroatmospheric fistulas. This study represents one of the largest datasets describing the ability of HPN-dependent patients with SBS or fistulas to achieve nutritional autonomy. While reconstructive surgery facilitates HPN cessation, approximately one-fifth of patients declined surgery despite HPN dependency. These data will better inform patient expectation and help plan alternative therapies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report the 3-year experience of endovascular revascularization of acute arterial mesenteric ischemia (AMI) from an intestinal stroke center unit (ISCU). METHOD All data from patients admitted to the ISCU between January 2016 and January 2019 for arterial AMI who underwent endovascular recanalization were prospectively acquired and retrospectively analyzed. Patient demographics, clinical and laboratory characteristics at presentation, and CT scans were reviewed. The type (thrombolysis, thrombectomy, stenting) and the outcome of endovascular procedures (technical success or failure, complications) were noted. Care pathways were described focusing on post-procedural treatments (surgical revascularization, bowel resection) and the mortality rate was evaluated in subgroups. RESULTS Fifty-eight patients (34 men [59%], mean 69 ± 29 years) were included. Endovascular revascularization was technically successful in 51/58 (88%) patients, and 10 (17%) patients had post-procedural complications. Stenting and in situ thrombolysis were performed in most patients (n = 33 and n = 19, respectively). Thirty-two patients (55%) were recurrence-free and required no further treatment after the procedure, while 9 (16%), 5 (9%), and 5 (9%) patients underwent 2nd-line bowel resection, surgical revascularization, or both. Overall, 46 (79%), 45 (78%), and 34 patients (63%) were alive at 3 months, 1 year, and 3 years. No significant difference in survival was found in care pathways or baseline characteristics. CONCLUSION Endovascular revascularization is highly feasible for the treatment of arterial AMI, and is associated with an acceptable rate of complications. Results of endovascular revascularization shall only be interpreted as part of a multidisciplinary patient management strategy. KEY POINTS • Endovascular revascularization is highly feasible for the treatment of arterial AMI, and is associated with an acceptable rate of complications. • Several techniques are available to perform endovascular revascularization, and their use depends on the cause, the location, and the quality of underlying arteries of patients. • Results of endovascular revascularization shall only be interpreted in relation to its role in an integrated multidisciplinary and patient management strategy.

Abstract
Purpose Short bowel syndrome (SBS) with intestinal failure (SBS-IF) requires long-term parenteral nutrition (PN). This study investigated the real-world etiologies of SBS, treatment patterns, and PN-related outcomes among adult patients with SBS-IF in Japan. Methods This retrospective, observational cohort study was based on data from April, 2008 to January, 2020 from one of the largest hospital-based claim databases in Japan. Analyzed patients were aged ≥ 16 years, had received continuous PN for ≥ 6 months, and had SBS or undergone SBS-related surgery with a diagnosis of a causative disease. The primary endpoint was PN weaning. Results We analyzed data for 393 patients. The most frequent causes of SBS-IF were ileus (31.8%), Crohn’s disease (20.1%), and mesenteric ischemia (16.0%). Of 144/393 (36.6%) patients who were weaned off their PN, 48 (33.3%) were subsequently restarted on PN. Of 276/393 (70.2%) patients whose PN was initiated in hospital, 156 (56.5%) transitioned to home management. The mean duration of initial PN was 450.4 and 675.5 days for patients who were able or unable to be weaned off PN, respectively. Sepsis (67.4%), catheter-related bloodstream infections (49.1%), and liver disorders (45.0%) were the most reported PN-related complications. Conclusions Most patients with SBS-IF in Japan could not be weaned off PN and suffered life-threatening complications.

Abstract
Teduglutide has been described as an effective treatment for parenteral support (PS) reduction in patients with short bowel syndrome (SBS). However, a quantitative summary of the available evidence is still lacking. PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane library, OVID, and CINAHL databases were systematically searched up to July 2021 for studies reporting the rate of response (defined as a ≥20% reduction in PS) to teduglutide among PS-dependent adult patients. The rate of weaning (defined as the achievement of PS independence) was also evaluated as a secondary end-point. Ten studies were finally considered in the meta-analysis. Pooled data show a response rate of 64% at 6 months, 77% at 1 year and, 82% at ≥2 years; on the other hand, the weaning rate could be estimated as 11% at 6 months, 17% at 1 year, and 21% at ≥2 years. The presence of colon in continuity reduced the response rate (-17%, 95%CI: (-31%, -3%)), but was associated with a higher weaning rate (+16%, 95%CI: (+6%, +25%)). SBS etiology, on the contrary, was not found to be a significant predictor of these outcomes, although a nonsignificant trend towards both higher response rates (+9%, 95%CI: (-8%, +27%)) and higher weaning rates (+7%, 95%CI: (-14%, +28%)) could be observed in patients with Crohn's disease. This was the first meta-analysis that specifically assessed the efficacy of teduglutide in adult patients with SBS. Our results provide pooled estimates of response and weaning rates over time and identify intestinal anatomy as a significant predictor of these outcomes.

Early Bowel Lengthening Procedures: Bi-Institutional Experience and Review of the Literature. CHILDREN 2022; 9:children9020221. [PMID: 35204941 PMCID: PMC8870478 DOI: 10.3390/children9020221] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2021] [Revised: 01/30/2022] [Accepted: 02/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Early bowel lengthening procedure (EBLP) has been defined as any bowel lengthening procedure performed before six months of age. The purpose of this paper is to compare our experience with literature on this subject to identify common indications. A bi-institutional retrospective analysis was performed. Diagnosis, type of surgery, age at procedure and outcomes were analysed. Eleven EBLP were performed in Manchester and Florence from 2006 to 2021. The median age at surgery was 126 days (102–180), pre-operative median short bowel (SB) length was 28 cm (17–49) with a post-operative median increase of 81%. Furthermore, a PubMed/Embase search was undertaken regarding bowel lengthening procedures performed in the last 40 years. Sixty-one EBLP were identified. The median age was 60 days (1–90). Serial transverse enteroplasty (STEP) was the most frequent procedure used, with a median increased bowel length of 57%. This study confirms that no clear consensus on indication or timing to perform early SB lengthening is reported. According to the gathered data, EBLP should be considered only in cases of actual necessity and performed in a qualified intestinal failure centre.

Abstract
Loss of functional small bowel surface area causes short bowel syndrome (SBS), intestinal failure, and parenteral nutrition (PN) dependence. The gut adaptive response following resection may be difficult to predict, and it may take up to 2 yr to determine which patients will wean from PN. Here, we examined features of gut microbiota and bile acid (BA) metabolism in determining adaptation and ability to wean from PN. Stool and sera were collected from healthy controls and from patients with SBS (n = 52) with ileostomy, jejunostomy, ileocolonic, and jejunocolonic anastomoses fed with PN plus enteral nutrition or who were exclusively enterally fed. We undertook 16S rRNA gene sequencing, BA profiling, and 7α-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one (C4) quantitation with LC-MS/MS and serum amino acid analyses. Patients with SBS exhibited altered gut microbiota with reduced gut microbial diversity compared with healthy controls. We observed differences in the microbiomes of patients with SBS with ileostomy versus jejunostomy, jejunocolonic versus ileocolonic anastomoses, and PN dependence compared with those who weaned from PN. Stool and serum BA composition and C4 concentrations were also altered in patients with SBS, reflecting adaptive changes in enterohepatic BA cycling. Stools from patients who were weaned from PN were enriched in secondary BAs including deoxycholic acid and lithocholic aicd. Shifts in gut microbiota and BA metabolites may generate a favorable luminal environment in select patients with SBS, promoting the ability to wean from PN. Proadaptive microbial species and select BA may provide novel targets for patient-specific therapies for SBS.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Loss of intestinal surface area causes short bowel syndrome, intestinal failure, and parenteral nutrition dependence. We analyzed the gut microbiota and bile acid metabolome of a large cohort of short bowel syndrome adult patients with different postsurgical anatomies. We report a novel analysis of the microbiome of patients with ileostomy and jejunostomy. Enrichment of specific microbial and bile acid species may be associated with the ability to wean from parenteral nutrition.

Clin Nutr 2021; 40:5639-5647. [PMID: 34662849 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2021.08.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2021] [Revised: 08/27/2021] [Accepted: 08/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Patients with intestinal failure often need long-term home parenteral support (PS). We aimed to determine how the underlying diagnosis, complications and survival had changed over the last 36 years in the UK's largest IF centre. METHODS 978 adult home PS patient records were analysed from January 1979 until October 2016. The age, sex, underlying aetiology, complications and survival was compared over 5-year periods. RESULTS Pre-1990 to 2011-2016, numbers increased from 29 to 451, the mean age of patients increased from 31 ± 16.5 to 52 ± 17.6 years. The percentage of patients with IF due to surgical complications increased (3.4%-28.8%, p < 0.001)), while those with inflammatory bowel disease decreased (37.9%-22.6%, p < 0.001). Complication of home PS reduced: catheter related blood stream infections (CRBSI) 71.4% to 42,2%, CVC thrombosis 34.5%-5.3%. Intestinal failure associated liver disease (IFLAD) 10.3%-1.8%. Patients with dysmotility, scleroderma and a congenital aetiology had the highest incidence of CRBSI and CVC Thrombosis. Overall survival was greater pre-1995 [HR 0.2-0.4 (p = 0.02)] most likely associated with an increase in mean age. Survival for patients without malignancy was 90%, 66%, 55%, 45%, 33% and 25% at 1,5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 years respectively. Multivariate analysis demonstrated a relationship between survival and age of starting home PS; type of home PS; presence or absence of the colon in continuity; and underlying aetiology. CONCLUSION Demand for home PS is increasing in particular for advanced malignancy, post-surgical complications and older more co-morbid patients. Complications of home PS are reducing over the last 30 years and 10-year survival for non-malignant aetiologies improving. Survival and changes in aetiology in intestinal failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The case-mix of patients with intestinal failure due to short bowel syndrome (SBS-IF) can differ among centres and may also be affected by the timeframe of data collection. Therefore, the ESPEN international multicenter cross-sectional survey was analyzed to compare the characteristics of SBS-IF cohorts collected within the same timeframe in different countries. METHODS The study included 1880 adult SBS-IF patients collected in 2015 by 65 centres from 22 countries. The demographic, nutritional, SBS type (end jejunostomy, SBS-J; jejuno-colic anastomosis, SBS-JC; jejunoileal anastomosis with an intact colon and ileocecal valve, SBS-JIC), underlying disease and intravenous supplementation (IVS) characteristics were analyzed. IVS was classified as fluid and electrolyte alone (FE) or parenteral nutrition admixture (PN). The mean daily IVS volume, calculated on a weekly basis, was categorized as <1, 1-2, 2-3 and >3 L/day. RESULTS In the entire group: 60.7% were females and SBS-J comprised 60% of cases, while mesenteric ischaemia (MI) and Crohn' disease (CD) were the main underlying diseases. IVS dependency was longer than 3 years in around 50% of cases; IVS was infused ≥5 days/week in 75% and FE in 10% of cases. Within the SBS-IF cohort: CD was twice and thrice more frequent in SBS-J than SBS-JC and SBS-JIC, respectively, while MI was more frequent in SBS-JC and SBS-JIC. Within countries: SBS-J represented 75% or more of patients in UK and Denmark and 50-60% in the other countries, except Poland where SBS-JC prevailed. CD was the main underlying disease in UK, USA, Denmark and The Netherlands, while MI prevailed in France, Italy and Poland. CONCLUSIONS SBS-IF type is primarily determined by the underlying disease, with significant variation between countries. These novel data will be useful for planning and managing both clinical activity and research studies on SBS.

Abstract
Background The glucagon‐like peptide 2 analogue teduglutide is an effective drug for the treatment of short bowel syndrome patients with intestinal failure (SBS‐IF). This intestinotrophic peptide improves intestinal capacity for fluid and nutrient absorption through induction of mucosal growth and reduction of gastrointestinal motility. Clinical trials demonstrated the efficacy of teduglutide in reducing the need for parenteral support (PS). This study describes an SBS‐IF patient population receiving teduglutide therapy in a specialized medical care setting. Method A retrospective analysis was performed using data of patients experiencing nonmalignant SBS‐IF. They were treated with teduglutide in a multidisciplinary SBS‐IF program at a single university medical center between June 2016 and June 2020. Results Thirteen patients under teduglutide treatment were included in the final analysis. Mean small bowel length was 82 ± 31 cm, with 77% of patients having their colon in continuity. Over a median follow‐up of 107 weeks, all patients (13 of 13, 100%) responded to the therapy with a clinically significant reduction of PS volume. Mean PS reduction increased with therapy duration and ranged from −82.5% at week 24 (n = 13) to −100% in patients (n = 5) who were treated for 144 weeks. Enteral autonomy was achieved in 12 of 13 (92%) patients. Teduglutide therapy improved stool frequency and consistency, changed dietary habits, and reduced disease‐associated sleep disruptions. Conclusion Integrating SBS‐IF patients treated with teduglutide in a proactive and tight‐meshed patient care program significantly improves the clinical outcome, leading to an increased proportion of patients reaching enteral autonomy.

Abstract
The short bowel syndrome results from an extensive intestinal resection. When intestinal function is below the minimum necessary for the absorption of macronutrients, water and electrolytes, short small bowel syndrome is responsible for chronic intestinal failure. The management is then parenteral nutrition. The evolution of the short bowel syndrome is schematically divided into three successive periods: (a) Immediate postoperative period lasting 3 to 6 weeks; (b) adaptive period lasting about 2 years and (c) stabilization period. However, the development of hyperphagia, spontaneous intestinal adaptation allowing an increase in the absorption surface area and in secretion of enterohormones and a modification of the microbiota occur spontaneously, improving intestinal absorption and decreasing dependence on parenteral nutrition. This review summarizes the main positive and negative pathophysiological consequences of extensive intestinal resection and the nutritional and drug management of short bowel syndrome in adults.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Short-bowel syndrome (SBS) is a common cause of chronic intestinal failure and is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, poor quality of life, and an increased burden on healthcare costs. METHODS We used the US Nationwide Inpatient Sample database from 2005 to 2014. We identified adult SBS hospitalizations by using a combination of International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes. We studied the demographics of the patients with SBS and analyzed the trends in the number of hospitalizations, in-hospital mortality, and healthcare costs. We also identified the risk factors associated with in-hospital mortality. RESULTS A total of 53,040 SBS hospitalizations were identified. We found that SBS-related hospitalizations increased by 55% between 2005 (N = 4037) and 2014 (N = 6265). During this period, the in-hospital mortality decreased from 40 per 1000 to 29 per 1000 hospitalizations, resulting in an overall reduction of 27%. Higher mortality was noted in SBS patients with sepsis (6.7%), liver dysfunction (6.2%), severe malnutrition (6.0%), and metastatic cancer (5.4%). The overall mean length of stay (LOS) for SBS-related hospitalizations was 14.7 days, with a mean hospital cost of $34,130. We noted a steady decrease in the LOS, whereas the cost of care remained relatively stable. CONCLUSIONS The national burden of SBS-related hospitalizations continues to rise, and the mortality associated with SBS has substantially decreased. Older SBS patients with sepsis, liver dysfunction, severe malnutrition, and metastatic cancer had the highest risk of mortality. Healthcare utilization in SBS remains high. healthcare utilization; hospitalization trend; mortality; research and diseases; short-bowel syndrome.

Abstract
L-Citrulline is a non-essential but still important amino acid that is released from enterocytes. Because plasma levels are reduced in case of impaired intestinal function, it has become a biomarker to monitor intestinal integrity. Moreover, oxidative stress induces protein citrullination, and antibodies against anti-citrullinated proteins are useful to monitor rheumatoid diseases. Citrullinated histones, however, may even predict a worse outcome in cancer patients. Supplementation of citrulline is better tolerated compared to arginine and might be useful to slightly improve muscle strength or protein balance. The following article shall provide an overview of L-citrulline properties and functions, as well as the current evidence for its use as a biomarker or as a therapeutic supplement.

State-of-the-art colorectal disease: conservative surgical management of intestinal failure in adults. Int J Colorectal Dis 2021; 36:1597-1607. [PMID: 33629118 DOI: 10.1007/s00384-021-03863-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 01/26/2021] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Intestinal failure (IF) is defined by the reduction of gut function under the minimum necessary for adequate absorption of macronutrients and/or electrolytes, requiring home parenteral nutrition (HPN) to maintain health and/or growth. Among the different causes of IF, short bowel syndrome (SBS) is one of the main causes of IF in adults. Management of IF and SBS is complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach. The aim of this study was to review the place and the modalities of conservative surgical procedures performed for IF in adults. RESULTS-CONCLUSION HPN has drastically modified the poor prognosis of these patients, leading to an overall survival around 70-75% at 5 years in patients without cancer. However, HPN is associated with life-threatening long-term complications, including liver failure and catheter-related complications, main causes of deaths for these patients. Surgery can be proposed, in order to try to reduce SBS consequences with either conservative or non-conservative procedures. Simple bowel continuity restoration should be performed as often as possible in order to wean or at least to reduce HPN. Lengthening procedures are proposed to increase the absorption surface of the remnant bowel. These procedures can be only performed on a dilated small bowel. The slowing transit time procedure is represented by segmental reversal of the small bowel. Intestinal transplantation is the last surgical option for patients with IF but is still today associated with high mortality and failure rates. Thus, conservative procedures have a major role in the surgical armentarium for patients with IF.

Small and Large Intestine (II): Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Short Bowel Syndrome, and Malignant Tumors of the Digestive Tract. Nutrients 2021; 13:nu13072325. [PMID: 34371835 PMCID: PMC8308711 DOI: 10.3390/nu13072325] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2021] [Revised: 06/29/2021] [Accepted: 07/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
The small intestine is key in the digestion and absorption of macro and micronutrients. The large intestine is essential for the absorption of water, to allow adequate defecation, and to harbor intestinal microbiota, for which their nutritional role is as important as it is unknown. This article will describe the causes and consequences of malnutrition in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases, the importance of screening and replacement of micronutrient deficits, and the main indications for enteral and parenteral nutrition in these patients. We will also discuss the causes of short bowel syndrome, a complex entity due to anatomical or functional loss of part of the small bowel, which can cause insufficient absorption of liquid, electrolytes, and nutrients and lead to complex management. Finally, we will review the causes, consequences, and management of malnutrition in patients with malignant and benign digestive tumors, including neuroendocrine tumors (present not only in the intestine but also in the pancreas).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a rare, highly disabling, life-threatening condition due to extensive intestinal resections, characterized by diarrhea, malabsorption, and malnutrition. SBS is the main cause of intestinal failure (SBS-IF). The primary therapy for SBS-IF is intravenous supplementation (IVS) of nutrients. The pharmacological therapy aims to improve the remnant bowel function, leading to the decrease of IVS requirement. AREAS COVERED This review provides a safety perspective and discusses unmet clinical needs on pharmacotherapy for SBS, ranging from symptomatic agents traditionally used off-label to manage hypersecretion and diarrhea, to curative drugs with selective intestinotrophic properties. Real-world evidence on symptomatic drugs is lacking. Data on teduglutide - the first-in-class glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) receptor agonist approved in SBS - are mainly derived from clinical trials, with several unsettled safety issues, including the risk of malignancies. EXPERT OPINION Defining the long-term safety of drugs used for SBS is a priority; a unified list of commonly used drugs with consolidated proof of effectiveness is needed to harmonize the symptomatic pharmacological approach to SBS. GLP-2 receptor agonists are a promising curative pharmaco-therapeutic approach, although long-term safety and effectiveness deserve further real-world assessment. Pharmacovigilance and global data sharing are crucial to support safe prescribing in SBS.
