BACKGROUND & AIMS: Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a rare and severe condition where
home parenteral nutrition (HPN) dependence can be either permanent or transient. The
timing of HPN discontinuation and the survival, according to SBS characteristics, need to be
further reported to help plan pre-emptive intestinal transplantation and reconstructive
surgery. METHODS: 268 Non-malignant SBS patients have been followed in our institution
since 1980. HPN dependence and survival rate were studied with univariate and …
