Abstract:
BackgroundShort 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. MethodsClinical 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. ResultsWe 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). ConclusionInfants 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.
