Predictors of a successful outcome for infants with short bowel syndrome: a 30-year single-institution experience

Purpose Short-bowel syndrome (SBS) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. We conducted this study to establish the predictors of survival and weaning off parenteral nutrition (PN). Methods We reviewed the medical records of 16 SBS infants treated at our institution within a 30-year period....

Zusammenfassung:Purpose Short-bowel syndrome (SBS) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. We conducted this study to establish the predictors of survival and weaning off parenteral nutrition (PN). Methods We reviewed the medical records of 16 SBS infants treated at our institution within a 30-year period. SBS was defined as a residual small-bowel length (RSBL) of 2.0 mg/dl), enterostomy, and RSBL were all evaluated. Kaplan–Meier analysis was used to analyze the predictors. Results The mean RSBL was 34.9 ± 22.9 cm. Six patients died (37.5%) and nine patients were weaned off PN (56.3%). Significant differences were observed in cholestasis ( p
