Background: Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a rare but serious form of organ failure, and patients with SBS depend on total parenteral nutrition (PN) to maintain growth and development. The present study aimed to evaluate the experiences and outcomes of children with SBS managed by a multidisciplinary intestinal rehabilitation programme in a tertiary paediatric centre.
Methods: A retrospective single-centre analysis of all paediatric patients with a clinical diagnosis of SBS between 2001 and 2022 was performed.

- They concluded that the overall number of injuries didn’t change much, but it was important to focus on preventing injuries at home, especially burns.
