![]() ![]() The survival rate of patients with PDD was 98.4% at 1 year from the beginning of HPN, 96.5% at 2 years, and 93.8% from the fifth year onwards. Only 1 patient out of 12 died because of HPN complications. Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) rate decreased over the study period: 0.33 episodes/1,000 catheters days before 2011 and 0.19 episodes/1,000 catheters days afterwards. Results: Incidence and prevalence of CIF increased during the study period particularly due to the increase of HPN for non-digestive disease (NDD) CIF (47.5% of the study sample). Patients' and HPN characteristics, as well as dependence, survival, and complication rates, were described. Methods: Data of the 120 children followed up at Pediatric Intestinal Failure Unit during the last 28 years were retrospectively collected. ![]() Herein, we retrospectively analyse the long-term outcomes of a cohort of pediatric patients with CIF followed-up since our Pediatric Intestinal Failure Unit foundation, in 1989. ![]() International guidelines claim that early referral of long-term home parenteral nutrition (HPN) patients to an expert center with specific standards of care may positively affect long-term outcomes. 2Postgraduate School of Paediatrics, University of Turin, Turin, Italyīackground and Aims: Chronic intestinal failure (CIF) therapy changed significantly in recent decades, and both survival and complication rates improved over time.1Dietetic and Clinical Nutrition Unit, Paediatric Hospital Regina Margherita, University of Turi, Turin, Italy.Antonella Lezo 1 Chiara D'Eusebio 1 * Lorenzo Riboldi 2 Letizia Baldini 2 Marco Spada 1 ![]()
