We evaluated growth after weaning by diagnosis and intestinal transplant status and during treatment with the glucagon‐like peptide‐2 analog teduglutide.MethodsA two‐center retrospective review was conducted on children diagnosed with IF at age <12 months. The <jats:italic>z</jats:italic> scores for weight and length/height were examined up to 5 years after PN weaning and in children who received teduglutide for >6 months. Data were reported as median and interquartile range (IQR).ResultsA total of 362 children (58% male and 72% White) were reviewed; 41% (<jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 150) weaned from PN at age 1.5 years (IQR = 0.96–3). Weight and length/height data were available for 144 children; 46 received an intestinal transplant. Median weight and length/height <jats:italic>z</jats:italic> scores at weaning were −1.15 (IQR = −2.09 to −0.39) and −1.89 (IQR = −2.9 to −1.02), respectively. In those not transplanted, <jats:italic>z</jats:italic> scores remained stable (± 0.5 change). Children with small bowel atresia experienced accelerated linear growth (> +0.5 change) beginning in year 3. Most children transplanted experienced growth acceleration beginning in year 2. Fourteen children received teduglutide (median = 840 [IQR = 425–1530] days), and growth remained stable throughout treatment. Five were weaned from PN within 1 year.ConclusionWe observed stable growth with limited catch‐up after PN weaning, with minimal variation by diagnosis, and during teduglutide therapy. Children who received an intestinal transplant experienced acceleration in weight and linear growth after weaning.","PeriodicalId":19354,"journal":{"name":"Nutrition in Clinical Practice","volume":"158 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142200075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies investigating demographic, clinical, drug use, laboratory, and/or nutrition factors for RFS were considered. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to appraise the methodological quality of included studies. Of 1589 identified records, 30 studies were included. Thirty-three factors associated with increased risk of RFS after multivariable adjustments were identified. The following factors were reported by two or more studies, with 0-1 study reporting null findings: a previous history of alcohol misuse, cancer, comorbid hypertension, high Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, high Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score, low Glasgow coma scale score, the use of diuretics before refeeding, low baseline serum prealbumin level, high baseline level of creatinine, and enteral nutrition. The majority of the studies (20, 66.7%) were of high methodological quality. In conclusion, this systematic review informs on several risk factors for RFS in patients.
