Official title
Weaning is Winning? (WeWin Study): Are Parenteral Nutrition (PN) Graduates Growing up Healthy?
Overview
We propose a multicenter prospective study on pediatric patients with intestinal failure (IF) who weaned off parenteral nutrition (PN).
Detailed description
Children with IF depend on PN. This is associated with frequent and various complications such as metabolic bone disease, micronutrient deficiencies and abnormal body composition. Due to advancements in care, many patients with IF are able to wean off PN; they are so called PN graduates. It is currently not well known how often complications do occur after weaning off PN, and which patients are at highest risk of developing these complications.
