Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated how many pediatric candidates for small bowel transplantation (SBTx ± LTx) received hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination prior to transplant and how vaccination timing impacted their immunity development.
- - A review of 56 out of 87 patients found that 25 children were vaccinated before transplant, while 31 were vaccinated after; among survivors, a higher percentage of those vaccinated before developed immunity.
- - The results indicate that receiving HBV vaccination before transplantation is more effective, suggesting that children with chronic intestinal failure should be vaccinated while clinically stable before being referred for surgery.
