During a full MBS, patients are admitted to the hospital to collect duplicates of all ingested foods and drinks, as well as their fecal and urinary output, typically over a 72-h period. These collections are further processed to assess absorption of energy, macronutrients (nitrogen, fat and carbohydrate) and electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium). Full MBS require dedicated laboratory personnel, equipment, knowledge and experience, which explains why they are currently only performed in one center.</div></div><div><h3>Aim</h3><div>We aimed to explore the transferability of full MBS in patients with SBS from the reference center to a clinical center that was new to and unexperienced in MBS.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>A collaboration between the centers was initiated to transfer knowledge on how to perform MBS collections, how to process and how to analyze energy, macronutrient and electrolyte content in the collected samples. At practical level, transferability included successful MBS collecting and processing. At analytical level, transferability included the lyophilization of homogenized samples at both centers. The powder that was created at the reference center was measured at both centers to assess the transferability of the analytical methods; while the site-specific powder was measured at the corresponding center to determine full process transferability. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated to define the absolute agreement between both centers.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>A total of 21 MBS were performed in 7 patients with SBS at the new center.

Meals and drinks samples and fecal output samples were processed in the new center and lyophilized at both centers, with a perfect reliability for dry matter between the centers (ICC = 1). At the level of method transferability, there was an excellent absolute agreement between centers for energy and nitrogen analyses (ICC>0.9). For fat, the mean coefficients of variation (cv) between centers for fecal output (6.3 %) and meals and drinks (12.0 %) were higher, but ICC showed excellent (0.957) to good (0.787) agreement, respectively. Carbohydrate results differed more between the centers (mean cv of 17.5 % for fecal output and 16.4 % for meals and drinks), translating into a moderate (meals and drinks, ICC = 0.654) to good (fecal output, ICC = 0.812) reliability.
