Article Synopsis
- The study examines 9 children with severe neurological impairment who experienced intractable feeding intolerance, an issue linked to their decline or death.
- It found that these children typically died around 10 years old, with various living arrangements at the time of death, and had significant gastrointestinal dysfunction, often relying on feeding tubes.
- The research emphasizes the need for better understanding of 'intractable feeding intolerance', the importance of discussing care goals with families, and recognizing when further medical interventions may be appropriate.
