Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The intestinal rehabilitation program (IRP) is a comprehensive treatment strategy that employs various approaches implemented by multidisciplinary teams to treat intestinal failure in children. This program has shown promising results, such as reducing complications and improving prognosis and quality of life (QOL). In this review, we discuss the current status of this program and relevant topics. RECENT FINDINGS IRP includes the prevention and treatment of various complications such as intestinal failure associated liver disease, catheter-related bloodstream infection or sepsis, and venous thromboembolism. In addition, treatment strategies such as glucagon-like peptide-2 analogs, surgical interventions, and intestinal transplantation have evolved over time and have contributed to improved outcomes. In addition, the scope and regions for IRP activities have expanded. SUMMARY IRP improves the prognosis and QOL of children with intestinal failure. The development of new drugs, surgical methods, and treatment strategies is expected to improve the current and future status of pediatric patients with intestinal failure. Furthermore, international institutions must collaborate, share knowledge, conduct joint research, and establish patient registries to advance IRP progress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children with short bowel syndrome requiring parenteral nutrition are at high risk of recurrent central line-associated bloodstream infections requiring inpatient admission. Predicting responses to treatment at admission could help revise our current treatment algorithm and reduce the length of stay. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of all intestinal rehabilitation clinic patients admitted for central line-associated bloodstream infections at our academic hospital between January 2018 and June 2021. Demographic, blood culture, and treatment response data were analyzed. RESULTS There were 180 separate admissions for central line-associated bloodstream infections, involving 24 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The average length of stay was 9.4 days, and 77.1% of the admissions exceeded the predicted length of stay. All patients were treated according to the standard protocols. In the initial blood cultures, 64.4%, 10.6%, and 25% grew a single bacterium, a single fungus, and multiple organisms, respectively. After treatment initiation, 73.3% of single bacterial infections did not show additional positive cultures. However, 78.9% and 48.9% of fungal and multiple organism infections, respectively, had multiple positive cultures, even after initiating treatment. All positive repeat cultures were treated with an ethanol lock for 24 hours in addition to continued treatment. The treatment preserved 90.5% of the catheters. CONCLUSION Patients experiencing short bowel syndrome admitted for central line-associated bloodstream infections with initial cultures growing fungi or multiple organisms frequently had multiple positive cultures, whereas those with a single bacterial organism did not. Discharging patients who grew a single bacterial organism and placing an initial ethanol lock on those with multiple or fungal organisms could reduce the average length of stay, even if some of these patients would require readmission for line removal.

Abstract
PURPOSE To undertake a pilot study estimating patient-level costs of care for paediatric short bowel syndrome (SBS) from the healthcare provider perspective. METHODS A pilot group of patients with anatomical SBS was selected at a single specialist tertiary centre in the United Kingdom. The Patient Level Information and Costing System (PLICS) was used to extract costing data for all hospital-based activities related to SBS, from the implementation of PLICS in 2016 to April 2021. Patient-specific and pooled data were reported descriptively in per patient-year terms. RESULTS Five patients had full PLICS data available for the 5-year study period and 2 patients had 4 years of data. The median cost for hospital care of SBS was £52,834 per patient-year (range £1804-£331,489). The key cost drivers were inpatient beds, pharmacy, and staffing costs, which made up > 60% of annual costs. In the first 3 years following index admission (n = 2), there was a steady decline in the annual cost of care to a level comparable with patients with established SBS. CONCLUSION Patient-level cost of care analysis for SBS is feasible using PLICS. Hospital-related costs vary widely between and within individual patients over time. Key drivers of cost are related to complications of SBS.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Pediatric intestinal failure is a complex condition requiring specialized care to prevent potential complications. In this article, we review the available evidence supporting recent advances in care for children with intestinal failure. RECENT FINDINGS Multidisciplinary intestinal rehabilitation teams utilize medical and surgical management techniques to help patients achieve enteral autonomy (EA) while preventing and treating the complications associated with intestinal failure. Recent advances in lipid management strategies, minimization of intestinal failure associated liver disease, prevention of central line-associated blood stream infections, and loss of access, as well as development of promising new hormone analogue therapy have allowed promotion of intestinal adaptation. These advances have decreased the need for intestinal transplant. There have been recent advances in the care of children with intestinal failure decreasing morbidity, mortality, and need for intestinal transplantation. The most promising new therapies involve replacement of enteroendocrine hormones.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is a lifesaving treatment for people with chronic intestinal failure. Although HPN has been studied from an economic point of view, the categories of costs usually included direct costs, frequently excluding personal costs and productivity costs. The purpose of the present paper was to study the total costs of HPN from a societal perspective. METHODS Observational, retrospective, transverse study of all adult patients who were on HPN for more than 3 months and were treated at Gregorio Marañón University Hospital (Madrid, Spain), from June 2018-2019. Data on personal costs and productivity costs were collected from questionnaires completed by patients receiving HPN. We also updated the direct healthcare and non-healthcare costs studied by our group previously to Euros (€) for the year 2019. RESULTS Twenty-two patients were included. Personal costs were €729.49 per patient (€3.45 per patient per day) and productivity costs were €256.39 per patient (€1.21 per patient per day). Total HPN costs amounted to €14,460.87 per patient (€131.58 per patient per day). The direct healthcare and non-healthcare costs accounted for 96.46% of overall costs, the personal costs for the patients receiving HPN accounted for 2.62% and productivity costs for 0.92%. CONCLUSIONS From a societal perspective, the direct healthcare and non-healthcare costs accounted for the majority of HPN expenditure, followed by personal costs and productivity costs.

Abstract
Intestinal failure is a complex and debilitating condition characterised by inadequate small intestinal function requiring parenteral or intravenous nutrition to maintain health and, for children, to enable growth and development. Although parenteral nutrition can be prescribed in many hospitals, children with chronic intestinal failure have improved outcomes when managed at a paediatric centre by a multidisciplinary team with specialised expertise in the comprehensive management of intestinal failure. Recent advances in the medical, surgical and nutritional approach have been effective at optimising intestinal rehabilitation and achieving enteral autonomy while limiting complications of intestinal failure. The role of intestinal transplantation in the management of the child with intestinal failure continues to evolve as an option for children with life-threatening complications of intestinal failure. The aim of this review is to highlight key advances in the care of children with intestinal failure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE(S) To define the evolving role of integrative surgical management including transplantation for patients gut failure (GF). METHODS A total of 500 patients with total parenteral nutrition-dependent catastrophic and chronic GF were referred for surgical intervention particularly transplantation and comprised the study population. With a mean age of 45 ± 17 years, 477 (95%) were adults and 23 (5%) were children. Management strategy was guided by clinical status, splanchnic organ functions, anatomy of residual gut, and cause of GF. Surgery was performed in 462 (92%) patients and 38 (8%) continued medical treatment. Definitive autologous gut reconstruction (AGR) was achievable in 378 (82%), primary transplant in 42 (9%), and AGR followed by transplant in 42 (9%). The 84 transplant recipients received 94 allografts; 67 (71%) liver-free and 27 (29%) liver-contained. The 420 AGR patients received a total of 790 reconstructive and remodeling procedures including primary reconstruction, interposition alimentary-conduits, intestinal/colonic lengthening, and reductive/decompressive surgery. Glucagon-like peptide-2 was used in 17 patients. RESULTS Overall patient survival was 86% at 1-year and 68% at 5-years with restored nutritional autonomy (RNA) in 63% and 78%, respectively. Surgery achieved a 5-year survival of 70% with 82% RNA. AGR achieved better long-term survival and transplantation better (P = 0.03) re-established nutritional autonomy. Both AGR and transplant were cost effective and quality of life better improved after AGR. A model to predict RNA after AGR was developed computing anatomy of reconstructed gut, total parenteral nutrition requirements, cause of GF, and serum bilirubin. CONCLUSIONS Surgical integration is an effective management strategy for GF. Further progress is foreseen with the herein-described novel techniques and established RNA predictive model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The aim of the study was to aid decisions on prognosis and transplantation; this study describes the outcome of children with intestinal failure managed by the multidisciplinary intestinal rehabilitation program at the Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne. METHODS Retrospective review of children requiring parenteral nutrition (PN) for >3 months who were assessed for home PN between 1991 and 2011. RESULTS A total of 51 children were included. Forty-two (82%) had short bowel syndrome (SBS), 5 (10%) had chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction syndrome, and 4 (8%) had congenital enteropathies. Median small bowel length for patients with SBS was 45 cm (interquartile range 30-80) or 23.9% of the expected length for age (interquartile range 17.0%-40.6%). Overall survival rate was 84% (43/51). Mortality in children (n = 7) occurred after a median of 13.2 months (range 6.2-29.2) with intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD) being the only predictor (P = 0.001). Out of 50 children 21 (42%) had IFALD. Children who were premature (P = 0.013), had SBS (P = 0.038), and/or frequent sepsis (P = 0.014) were more likely to develop IFALD. PN weaning occurred in 27 of 35 (77%) SBS survivors, after a median of 10.8 months (up to 8.2 years), with longer residual small bowel (P = 0.025), preservation of the ileocecal valve (P = 0.013) and colon (P = 0.011) being predictors. None of 5 (0%) patients with chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction syndrome and 2 of 4 (50%) patients with congenital enteropathies weaned off PN. Overall sepsis rate was 7.3 episodes/1000 line days. Frequency of sepsis and longevity of central lines improved with time as patients grew older (both P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Long-term PN with intestinal rehabilitation was effective in treating most children with intestinal failure. Children with severe refractory IFALD may have benefited from intestinal transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intestinal failure (IF) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, yet specific parameters that determine medium- and long-term outcomes remain ill defined. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the long-term outcomes in childhood IF and identify patient characteristics associated with clinical endpoints. DESIGN MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched for cohorts of >10 pediatric-onset IF patients with >12 mo follow-up. Random-effects meta-analysis and meta-regression weighted by follow-up duration were used to calculate clinical outcome rates and patient factors associated with outcomes. Primary outcome was mortality rate; secondary outcomes included neurodevelopmental status, transplantation, IF-associated liver disease (IFALD), enteral autonomy, and sepsis. RESULTS In total, 175 cohorts (9318 patients and 34,549 y follow-up) were included in the meta-analysis. Overall mortality was 5.2% per y (95% CI: 4.3, 6.0) and was associated with sepsis and IFALD on meta-regression. Mortality rate improved with time from 5.9% per y pre-2000 to 4.5% per y post-2005. Sepsis rate was also predictive of IFALD and liver failure. Enteral autonomy was associated with small bowel length but not presence of ileo-cecal valve. There was a relative lack of data on neurodevelopmental outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Sepsis is the primary modifiable factor associated with mortality and liver failure, whereas enteral autonomy correlates with small-bowel length. No clear parameters have been identified that accurately predict neurodevelopmental outcomes, and hence further research is needed. Together, our findings are helpful for parental counseling and resource planning, and support targeting reduction in sepsis.

Abstract
Objective: To report the experience of the training in home parenteral nutrition (PN)
directed to family members of children and adolescents participating in a
multidisciplinary intestinal rehabilitation program of a tertiary public
hospital. Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study with family caregivers of patients from
the Intestinal Rehabilitation Program of Hospital de Clínicas de Porto
Alegre, RS, Brazil, from July/2014 to January/2017. Inclusion criteria:
family members of children aged 30 days to 17 years and estimated PN use ≥8
weeks; and family members motivated to care for the child. The training
covered: hand washing and disinfection; infusion pump handling; and central
venous catheter (CVC) and PN care. Outcomes assessed: catheter-related
bloodstream infection (CRBSI) rate, accidental CVC exit, end of PN infusion
with more than 60minutes of delay or advance compared to the time predicted,
mechanical obstruction, bleeding in the CVC insertion site, and death. Results: Twenty-seven family members of 17 children were trained. Their median age
was 28 (18-60) years, and 63% were mothers. The mean CRBSI rate was
1.7/1,000 days of CVC use, and 29.4% of patients had at least one episode of
accidental CVC exit. There were no complications related to PN infusion,
bleeding, or death. Conclusions: The training of family caregivers allowed the safe implementation of home
PN, with the active participation of families, making the procedure feasible
in the public health system in Brazil.
