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
Enteral autonomy is the primary goal of intestinal failure therapy. Intestinal transplantation (ITx) is an option when enteral autonomy cannot be achieved and management complications become life-threatening. The purpose of this review is to summarize existing medical literature related to nutrition requirements, nutrition status, and nutrition support after pediatric ITx. Achieving or maintaining adequate growth after intestinal transplant in children can be challenging because of episodes of rejection that require the use of corticosteroids, occurrences of infection that require a reduction or discontinuation of enteral or parenteral support, and fat malabsorption caused by impaired lymphatic circulation. Nutrient requirements should be assessed and modified regularly based on nutrition status, growth, ventilatory status, wound healing, and the presence of complications. Parenteral nutrition (PN) should be initiated as a continuous infusion early postoperatively. Enteral support should be initiated after evidence of graft bowel function and in the absence of clinical complications. Foods high in simple carbohydrates should be limited, as consumption may result in osmotic diarrhea. Short-term use of a fat-free diet followed by a low-fat diet may reduce the risk of the development of chylous ascites. Micronutrient deficiencies and food allergies are common occurrences after pediatric ITx. Enteral/oral vitamin and mineral supplementation may be required after PN is weaned. Nutrition management of children after ITx can be challenging for all members of the healthcare team. Anthropometric parameters and micronutrient status should be monitored regularly so that interventions to promote growth and prevent or reverse nutrient deficiencies can be implemented promptly.

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: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [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.

Abstract
Advancements in donor management, organ preservation and operative techniques, as well as immunosuppressive therapies, have provided children with intestinal failure and its complications a chance not only for enteral autonomy but also long-term survival through intestinal transplantation (ITx). First described in the 1960's, experience has grown in managing these complex patients both pre- and post-transplant. The goals of this review are to provide a brief history of intestinal transplantation and intestinal rehabilitation in pediatric patients, followed by focused discussions of the indications for ITx, induction and maintenance immunosuppression therapies, common post-operative complications, and outcomes/quality of life post-transplant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Home Parenteral Nutrition (HPN) is the cornerstone management for children suffering from chronic intestinal failure (CIF). In France, HPN is organized from a network of 7 certified centers located in University Hospitals spread across the national territory. This study aims to review the data involving children on HPN over a 6-years period in France to outline the global and continuous improvement in care. PATIENTS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study included all children enrolled in any of the 7 French HPN certified centers from January 1st, 2014 to December 31st, 2019. Data was recorded from annual databases provided by each center regarding: age at inclusion, indication and duration of HPN, type of intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE), outcome [PN weaning off, transfer to adult center, death, intestinal transplantation (ITx)], rate of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRSBIs) for 1000 days of HPN, Taurolidine lock procedure (TLP) use and prevalence of cholestasis defined as conjugated bilirubin ≥20 μmol/l. RESULTS The number of patients increased by 43.6% from 268 in 2014 to 385 in 2019. According to the year of follow up, the indications for HPN were short bowel syndrome (SBS) (42.3-46.6%), congenital enteropathies (CE) (18.5-22.8%), chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction syndrome (CIPOS) (13.0-16.3%), long segment Hirschsprung's disease (LSHD) (9.7-13.3%), Crohn's disease (CD) (1.6-2.6%) and other non-primary digestive diseases (NPDD) such as immune deficiency, cancer or metabolic disease (4.0-9.2%). The median age at discharge on HPN decreased from 11.7 months in 2014 to 8.3 months in 2019 (p < .001). By December 31st, 2019, 44.8% of children had left the HPN program after a median duration ranging between 39.9 and 66.4 months. Among these patients, 192 (74.2%) were weaned off PN (94.7% SBS), 41 (15.8%) were transferred to adult centers for CIPOS (42%), SBS (31%) or CE (27%), 21 died (8.1%) - mostly in relation to cancer or immune deficiency - and 5 were transplanted (1.9%): 4 underwent combined liver-intestine transplantation for LSHD (n = 2), SBS, CE and one multivisceral Tx for CIPOS. The use of a composite fish-oil based ILE increased from 67.4% in 2014 to 88.3% in 2019 (p < 0.001). CRBSIs dropped from 1.04 CRSBIs per 1000 days HPN in 2014 to 0.61 in 2019 (p < 0.001) while meantime, the percentage of children receiving TLP increased from 29.4% to 63.0% (p < 0.001). The prevalence of cholestasis (conjugated bilirubin ≥ 20 μmol/l) was low and stable between 4.1 and 5.9% of children during the study period. CONCLUSION In France, the number of children enrolled in a HPN program continuously increased over a 6 years period. SBS is the leading cause of CIF requiring HPN. The rate of CRBSIs dropped dramatically as the use of TLP increased. Mortality rate was low and mainly in relation to the underlying disease (cancer, immune deficiency). Cholestasis and intestinal Tx remained very rare.

Variation of plasma citrulline as a predictive factor for weaning off long-term parenteral nutrition in children with neonatal short bowel syndrome. Clin Nutr 2021; 40:4941-4947. [PMID: 34358840 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2021.07.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2021] [Revised: 07/11/2021] [Accepted: 07/13/2021] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Long-term parenteral nutrition (PN) is the mainstay of the therapeutic strategy in intestinal failure (IF) due to neonatal short bowel syndrome (SBS). Our aim was to identify prognostic factors for PN weaning and to assess if measuring plasma citrulline concentrations over time could account for the intestinal adaptation in progress. METHODS This retrospective study included children with neonatal SBS with surgical measurement of the residual bowel length and repeated plasma citrulline assessments during a 4-year follow-up. The degree of IF was assessed by the PN dependency index (PN caloric intake/Resting energy expenditure). The analysis was carried out according to SBS anatomical groups: end-jejunostomy (type 1), jejuno-colic (type 2) and jejuno-ileal anastomosis (type 3). RESULTS Fifty-five patients (8 type 1, 27 type 2, 20 type 3) were included. None of the patients with SBS type 1, 11 (41%) with type 2 and 11 (55%) with type 3 were weaned off during the follow-up period. Plasma citrulline levels significantly increased with time in patients who were finally weaned off PN; conversely, the levels did not consistently increase in patients who were still on PN at the end of the study period. There was an inverse relationship between plasma citrulline levels and the PN dependency index. The increasing citrulline levels had a positive effect on the probability of weaning, 2.7 times higher for each point increase in citrulline. No significant effect of age and residual bowel length at baseline was found. CONCLUSION The increased plasma citrulline level over time in addition to the SBS anatomical type is a reliable marker for subsequent PN weaning. The prediction of PN weaning assessed solely by the residual bowel length or a single measurement of citrulline is insufficient and should also take into account the anatomical type of SBS and repeated measurements of plasma citrulline levels.

Abstract
Long-term outcomes in children undergoing intestinal transplantation remain unclear. Seventy-one children underwent intestinal transplantation in our center from 1989 to 2007. We report on 10-year posttransplant outcomes with (group 1, n = 26) and without (group 2, n = 9) a functional graft. Ten-year patient and graft survival rates were 53% and 36%, respectively. Most patients were studying or working, one third having psychiatric disorders. All patients in group 1 were weaned off parenteral nutrition with mostly normal physical growth and subnormal energy absorption. Graft histology from 15 late biopsies showed minimal abnormality. However, micronutrient deficiencies and fat malabsorption were frequent; biliary complications occurred in 4 patients among the 17 who underwent liver transplantation; median renal clearance was 87 mL/min/1.73 m2 . Four patients in group 1 experienced late acute rejection. Among the 9 patients in group 2, 4 died after 10 years and 2 developed significant liver fibrosis. Liver transplantation and the use of a 3-drug regimen including sirolimus or mycophenolate mofetil were associated with improved graft survival. Therefore, intestinal transplantation may enable a satisfactory digestive function in the long term. The prognosis of graft removal without retransplantation is better than expected. Regular monitoring of micronutrients, early psychological assessment, and use of sirolimus are recommended.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No empirical data are found examining why eating may be difficult for some children and not others following intestinal transplant. This study aimed to describe the eating behaviors and nutrition intake of intestinal-transplant-recipient children and examine factors that may impact on their eating. METHODS Caregivers of all (n = 34) intestinal-transplant recipients <18 years of age in the United Kingdom were invited to participate in this mixed-methods study comprising questionnaires, a 3-day food diary and interviews. Questionnaires included the Children's Eating Behaviour Questionnaire and demographic/nutrition-related items. Analysis was by descriptive statistics using SPSS. Semistructured telephone interviews explored caregiver perceptions of their child's eating. Analysis was thematic. RESULTS Nine caregivers were recruited and completed the questionnaire and food diary. Eight of these were interviewed. Home tube feeding was required by 77% (n = 7) of children post transplant, 56% (n = 5) were "food avoidant", and median energy intake was 93% (range, 61%-137%) of requirements. The findings revealed complex, interrelated positive and negative medical, caregiver, and child-related influences on eating. Learning to eat at the recommended age and having positive and significant pretransplant eating experiences appeared protective, whereas receiving nothing by mouth and having aversive experiences were barriers. CONCLUSION This study provides the first empirical evidence of factors that may influence eating after intestinal transplant in children. The findings suggest promoting eating pretransplant, when the negative physical consequences can be managed, may be protective, and there may be eating-difficulty predictors that could be used to facilitate targeted interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main cause of intestinal failure is short bowel syndrome (SBS). The management goal for children with SBS is to promote intestinal adaptation while preserving growth and development with the use of parenteral nutrition (PN). OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the intestinal absorption rate in children with SBS, focusing on the role of the remnant colon. In addition, the relation between intestinal absorption rate, citrulline concentration, and small bowel length was studied. METHODS Thirty-two children with SBS on PN were included. They were divided into 3 groups according to the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) anatomical classification system: type 1 SBS (n = 9), type 2 (n = 13), and type 3 (n = 10). Intestinal absorption rate was assessed by a stool balance analysis of a 3-d collection of stools. Plasma citrulline concentrations were measured and the level of PN dependency was calculated. RESULTS The total energy absorption rate did not differ significantly between the 3 groups: 68% (61-79% ) for type 1, 60% (40-77%) for type 2, and 60% (40-77%) for type 3 ( P = 0.45). Children with type 2 or 3 SBS had significantly shorter small bowel length than children with type 1: 28 cm (19-36 cm) and 16 cm (2-29 cm), respectively, compared with 60 cm (45-78 cm) ( P = 0.04). Plasma citrulline concentrations were lower in type 3 SBS but not significantly different: 15 µmol/L (11-25 µmol/L) in type 1, 14 µmol/L (7-21 µmol/L) in type 2 , and 9 µmol/L (6-14 µmol/L) in type 3 ( P = 0.141). A multivariate analysis confirmed the role of the remnant colon in providing additional energy absorption. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated the importance of the colon as a salvage organ in children with SBS. Plasma citrulline concentrations should be interpreted according to the type of SBS. Efforts should focus on conservative surgery, early re-establishment of a colon in continuity, and preserving the intestinal microbiota.

Abstract
Background The availability of an identical twin donor that allows avoidance of complications related to graft rejection and immunosuppression represents an ideal treatment option for irreversible intestinal failure. Methods and Results We described a 45-year-old woman who lost most of her small bowel due to acute superior mesenteric thrombosis received a living-related small bowel transplant from her identical-twin sister. Monozygosity was established by buccal smear DNA amplification using short tandem repeat. A pretransplant panel-reactive antibody was 47.5% with several HLA antibodies in higher titers. The patient received a brief course of steroids without any additional immunosuppressive agents after transplantation. Her postoperative course was uneventful without an episode of rejection or infection. The preformed HLA antibodies steadily declined over time after transplantation. At a 5-year follow-up, the patient achieved full enteral autonomy from parenteral nutrition with a regular lifestyle. Conclusions Identical-twin intestinal transplantation appears to provide the best outcomes by avoiding complications related to rejection and immunosuppression. We provide evidence that it may confer greater long-term immunological advantages even in a high-immunologic risk recipient.

Abstract
Fat malabsorption is common after SBT. To identify whether anatomic variant transplants differ in occurrence of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency that could contribute to fat malabsorption, we measured FPE repeatedly in 54 recipients of a SBT, ages 6.2 to 320 months. FPE determination most distant from SBT was 6.1 years. Of the 54, 39% received an isolated intestinal graft (native pancreas only), 48% received an en bloc liver-intestinal-pancreas graft (native and graft pancreas), and 13% received a multivisceral graft (graft pancreas only). Initial FPE was normal (>200 μg/g) in 15 of the 54 at a median of 22 (11-61) days after SBT. Recipients of a liver-intestine-pancreas transplant were more likely to have normal FPE within 30 days after SBT than were isolated intestinal or multivisceral transplant recipients (47%, 19%, and 0%, respectively, P = .049). Of the remaining 39 patients, 34 eventually demonstrated a normal FPE at a median of 168 (31-943) days after SBT. Type of SBT did not influence the likelihood of achieving a normal FPE level or time when it occurred. Five (9%) patients failed to achieve normal FPE, including 3 who died within 2 years after SBT. In conclusion, possessing both graft and native pancreas as in transplantation of an en bloc liver-intestinal-pancreas graft facilitates early normalization of FPE that eventually occurs in most patients irrespective of transplant type. Failure to recover normal pancreatic function may be associated with severe post-transplant complications.

Long term outcomes of intestinal rehabilitation in children with neonatal very short bowel syndrome: Parenteral nutrition or intestinal transplantation. Clin Nutr 2018; 38:926-933.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Intestinal rehabilitation is the preferred treatment for children with short bowel syndrome (SBS) whatever the residual bowel length, and depends on the accurate management of long-term parenteral nutrition (PN). If nutritional failure develops, intestinal transplantation (ITx) should be discussed and may be life-saving. This study aimed to evaluate survival, PN dependency and nutritional status in children with neonatal very SBS on PN or after ITx, in order to define indications and timing of both treatments. PATIENTS AND METHODS This retrospective cross-sectional study enrolled 36 children with very SBS (<40 cm) who entered our intestinal rehabilitation program from 1987 to 2007. RESULTS All the children on long-term PN (n = 16) survived with a follow-up of 17 years (9-20). Six of them were eventually weaned off PN. Twenty children underwent ITx: eight children died (40%) 29 months (0-127) after Tx. The others 12 patients were weaned off PN 73 days (13-330) after Tx. Follow-up after transplantation was 14 years (6-28). Seven out of 8 (88%) patients with a history of gastroschisis required ITx. Patients who required ITx had longer stoma duration. CONCLUSION Survival rate of children with very short bowel was excellent if no life-threatening complications requiring transplantation developed. Gastroschisis and delayed ostomy closure are confirmed as risk factor for nutritional failure. Intestinal rehabilitation may allow a total weaning of PN before adulthood. A follow-up by a multidisciplinary team is necessary to avoid PN complications in order to minimize indications for ITx.

Abstract
We present a 12-yr-old boy who received a combined liver-pancreas small bowel transplantation at the age of two. The post-operative period was complicated by wound closure problems resulting in a large asymptomatic abdominal wall defect. Further follow-up was uneventful, with the exception of new onset growth failure not explained by extensive routine investigations. An indirect calorimetry was performed. The resting energy expenditure (REE) was significantly increased (126% of predicted), demanding a daily caloric intake of 123 kcal/kg body weight (normal for age: 80 kcal/kg). In the absence of classic reasons for increased REE, a thermal camera revealed increased dermal heat loss at the abdominal wall defect (estimated surplus in energy loss of at least 29 kcal/day: 10.4% of the elevated REE). In addition, we found lower total lung capacity due to impaired abdominal breathing. In the exploration of growth failure in children after (ITx), increased REE must be taken into account. Indirect calorimetry can serve as a valuable diagnostic tool for evaluating individual energy requirements and nutritional support. In this child, exaggerated heat loss through an aberrant abdominal wall could be a potential important contributor to the patient's increased energy requirements.

Abstract
Intestinal transplant recipients are at risk of micronutrient deficiency due to the slow process of post-transplant adaptation. Another contributing factor is calcineurin inhibitor-induced renal tubular dysfunction. Patients are typically supplemented with micronutrients during PN; however, the risk of deficiency may persist even after a successful transition to FEN. The goal was to determine the prevalence of, and associated risk factors for, iron, zinc, magnesium, phosphorus, selenium, copper, folate, and vitamins A, D, E, and B12 deficiency in pediatric intestinal transplant recipients after successful transition to FEN. A retrospective review of prospectively collected data from children who underwent intestinal transplantation at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center was done. Deficiencies of various micronutrients were defined using the hospital reference values. Twenty-one intestinal transplant recipients, aged one to 23 yr, who were successfully transitioned to FEN were included in the study. The prevalence of micronutrient deficiency was 95.2%. The common deficient micronutrients were iron (94.7%) and magnesium (90.5%). Age ≤ 10 yr (p = 0.002) and tube feeding (p = 0.02) were significant risk factors for micronutrient deficiencies. Pediatric intestinal transplant recipients have a high risk of micronutrient and mineral deficiencies. These deficiencies were more common among younger patients and those who received jejunal feeding.
