Small and Large Bowel Anatomy is Associated with Enteral Autonomy in Infants with Short Bowel Syndrome: A retrospective cohort study

CONCLUSIONS: Overall 62% of infants with IF secondary to SBS achieved EA over a mean time of follow-up of 2.3 years. A colon length of >50% can compensate for the loss of small bowel (<50%) and account for similar EA rates as in children with residual SB>50%. This article is protected by copyright.
