Abstract
Facing with an increasing demand for transition to adult care management, our home parenteral nutrition (HPN) team designed an adolescent therapeutic educational program (ATEP) specifically intended for adolescents on long-term HPN. The aim of this study was to report on the first sessions of this program. Methods The ATEP is designed in three sessions of five consecutive days, during school holidays over the year. It includes group sessions on catheter handling, disconnecting and connecting the PN and catheter dressing, dealing with unforeseen events (e.g., fever or catheter injury), but also sessions with psychologist, social worker, sports teacher, fashion specialist, meeting with adults who received HPN since childhood. Specific course for the accompanying parents were also provided. Six months after the last session, a 3-day trip to the attraction park "le Futuroscope," Poitiers, France, was organized without any parental presence. Results After 3 ATEP courses, a total of 16 adolescents have been enrolled. They were aged between 13 and 17 years (median 14 IQR: 14-16.25). All were on long term HPN started during the neonatal period except for four who started PN at a median age of 10 years old (IQR: 1-10). At the time of the ATEP, their median PNDI was 105% (IQR: 95.5-120.8) while receiving a median of six infusions per week (IQR: 5-7). Thirteen received Taurolidine lock procedure. After the ATEP, 11 adolescents could be considered as fully autonomous, 4 as partially autonomous and one failed to gain any autonomy. Course evaluation by adolescents or parents was good to excellent. Conclusion Through the holistic and multiprofessional approach of this training and the group cohesion, the adolescents were not only able to handle catheter care and PN connections but were able to understand and accept better their illness and project themselves into their own future.

Abstract
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is the leading cause of intestinal failure (IF) in children. The mainstay of treatment for IF is parenteral nutrition (PN). 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 experience. 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. The first part of this position paper focuses on the physiological mechanism of intestinal adaptation after surgical resection. It subsequently provides some clinical practice recommendations for the primary management of children with SBS from surgical resection until discharged home on PN.

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.

Long-term treatment with teduglutide: a 48-week open-label single-center clinical trial in children with short bowel syndrome. Am J Clin Nutr 2023; 117:1152-1163. [PMID: 37270289 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajcnut.2023.02.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2022] [Revised: 02/15/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 06/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is the main cause of intestinal failure in children. OBJECTIVES This single-center study evaluated the safety and efficacy of teduglutide in pediatric patients with SBS-associated intestinal failure (SBS-IF). METHODS Children with SBS followed at our center with ≥2 y on parenteral nutrition (PN) and with small bowel length <80 cm who had reached a plateau were consecutively included in the study. At baseline, participants underwent a clinical assessment including a 3-d stool balance analysis, which was repeated at the end of the study. Teduglutide was administered subcutaneously 0.05 mg/kg/d for 48 wk. PN dependence was expressed as the PN dependency index (PNDI), which is the ratio PN non-protein energy intake/REE. Safety endpoints included treatment-emergent adverse events and growth parameters. RESULTS Median age at inclusion was 9.4 y (range: 5-16). The median residual SB length was 26 cm (IQR: 12-40). At baseline, the median PNDI was 94% (IQR: 74-119), (median PN intake: 38.9 calories/kg/d, IQR: 26.1-48.6). At week 24, 24 (96%) children experienced a reduction of >20% of PN requirements with a median PNDI = 50% (IQR: 38-81), (PN intake: 23.5 calories/kg/d IQR: 14.6-26.2), P < 0.01. At week 48, 8 children (32%) were weaned completely off PN. Plasma citrulline increased from 14 μmol/L (IQR: 8-21) at baseline to 29 μmol/L (IQR: 17-54) at week 48 (P < 0.001). Weight, height, and BMI z-scores remained stable. The median total energy absorption rate increased from 59% (IQR: 46-76) at baseline to 73% (IQR: 58-81) at week 48 (P = 0.0222). Fasting and postprandial endogenous GLP-2 concentrations increased at weeks 24 and 48 compared with baseline. Mild abdominal pain at the early phase of treatment, stoma changes, and redness at the injection site were commonly reported. CONCLUSIONS Increased intestinal absorption and PN dependency reduction were observed with teduglutide treatment in children with SBS-IF.

Neonatal intestinal failure: Growth pattern and nutrition intakes in accordance with weaning from parenteral nutrition. JPEN J Parenter Enteral Nutr 2023; 47:236-244. [PMID: 36398420 DOI: 10.1002/jpen.2465] [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: 03/30/2022] [Revised: 08/08/2022] [Accepted: 11/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Short bowel syndrome is the most common cause of intestinal failure (IF) in infants. We aimed to evaluate growth, nutrition intakes, and predictors of weaning from parenteral nutrition (PN) of infants with IF. METHODS Clinical parameters, nutrition intakes, body weight and length z-scores were compared monthly from the 1st to 12th and at 18 and 24 months among infants receiving PN and those weaned. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the predictors of weaning. RESULTS We included 23 infants (10/23 weaned). Median [range: minimum; maximum] birth weight and gestational age were 1620 [590; 3490] g and 31 [24; 39] weeks, respectively. All infants showed growth retardation with similar median delta weight z-score from birth to discharge: -1.48 [-1.92; -0.94] in not-weaned and -1.18 [-2.70; 0.31] in weaned infants (P = 0.833) and a subsequent regain after the discharge: 0.20 [-3.47; 3.25] and 0.84 [-0.03; 2.58], respectively (P = 0.518). No differences in length z-score were found. After the sixth month, infants weaned from PN received lower PN energy and protein intakes compared with those not-weaned. Infants weaned from PN showed lower PN dependency index (PNDI%) from 5 months onward (45% for weaned and 113% for not-weaned infants at 5 months: P < 0.001). The Belza score, a predictor of enteral autonomy computed at 6 months, is associated with being weaned from PN within 24 months (odds ratio: 1.906; P = 0.039). CONCLUSION Infants weaned and not-weaned showed similar growth patterns. Our findings support the clinical relevance of Belza score and PNDI% as predictors of weaning from PN.

Teduglutide in pediatric intestinal failure: A position statement of the Italian society of pediatric gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition (SIGENP). Dig Liver Dis 2022; 54:1320-1327. [PMID: 35654733 DOI: 10.1016/j.dld.2022.04.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2021] [Revised: 02/05/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
In recent years, the spectrum of possible treatments for Intestinal Failure (IF)-Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS) has been enriched by the implementation of GLP-2 analogues. In Italy, teduglutide (Ted), an analogue of GLP-2, was approved in January 2021 by the Italian Regulatory Agency for Drugs (AIFA) for IF-SBS patients ≥1 year old. According to the Agency indications, Ted can now be prescribed by regional reference centers, with costs fully charged to the National Health Service. Following pediatric-use approval in our country and in light of scarce evidence in childhood, the pediatric network for IF of the Italian Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (SIGENP) planned to share management methods of Ted in pediatric IF. The main purpose was to identify the best candidates from a cost-effective perspective. Thus, focusing on available literature and on expert opinions, the present position statement provides consensus-based recommendations on the use of Ted for pediatric gastroenterologists and nutritionists treating children with SBS.
