Impact of parenteral nutrition on quality of life, the family and gastrointestinal symptoms in children with intestinal failure.

Objectives: Intestinal failure (IF) and dependency on parenteral nutrition (PN) are risk factors for lower health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in children. Weaning from PN is a major goal of paediatric IF treatment, however, its impact on HRQOL remains unclear. This study aimed to assess HRQOL, gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and family impact in children with IF in relation to their need for PN.

Impact of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation on Nutritional Status and Intake in Children.

Objectives: This study aimed to describe the impact of allogeneic/haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation on nutritional status and intake in a group of children aged 2 to 18 years.

Methods: In an observational study, data were collected prospectively. Patients were prescribed individual nutritional support by hospital routines.

Bone mineral density and nutrition in long-term survivors of childhood brain tumors.

Background And Aims: Childhood cancer survivors are at risk of unwanted late effects. The primary aim of this study was to assess bone mineral density Z-scores (BMDz) in long-term survivors of childhood medulloblastoma (MB) or central nervous system supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor (CNS-PNET). Secondary aims were to describe nutrient intake, vitamin D status, physical activity and explore potential risk factors for decreased BMDz.

Bone mineral density and vitamin D in paediatric intestinal failure patients receiving home parenteral nutrition.

Background & Aims: Patients with intestinal failure (IF) are dependent on long-term home parenteral nutrition (HPN) to ensure growth and development. The primary aim of the present study was to assess bone mineral density (BMD) and vitamin D status in paediatric IF patients on HPN and a group of healthy children aged 2-18 years. Secondary aims were to assess growth, body composition, nutrient provision and physical activity.

Micronutrients in paediatric Intestinal Failure Patients receiving home parenteral nutrition.

Background & Aims: Children with intestinal failure (IF) receive parental nutrition to ensure adequate growth and development. The aim of this study was to assess micronutrient status in paediatric IF patients receiving home parenteral nutrition (HPN) in comparison to a group of healthy children.

Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was performed at Oslo University Hospital and at the Department of Nutrition, University of Oslo from January to September 2017.

Micronutrient Status and Nutritional Intake in 0- to 2-Year-old Children Consuming a Cows' Milk Exclusion Diet.

Objectives: To study micronutrient status and nutritional intake from complementary feeding in children on a cows' milk exclusion (CME) diet.

Methods: Fifty-seven children with cows' milk allergy, younger than 2 years, were included in a cross-sectional study. Blood was analyzed for micronutrient status.

Iodine Status and Growth In 0-2-Year-Old Infants With Cow's Milk Protein Allergy.

Objectives: The aim of the present article was to investigate iodine status and growth in cow's milk protein allergic infants and to identify potential predictors of iodine status and growth.

Methods: Fifty-seven infants under 2 years of age were included in an observational cross-sectional study. Two spot urine samples were collected and analyzed for iodine, together with a 3-day food record and a food frequency questionnaire.

Minor impact of juvenile arthritis on nutritional status in young adult patients.

Objective: Growth abnormalities and poor nutritional status have been reported in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of juvenile chronic rheumatic disease on current nutritional status in adult patients in remission or with active disease.

Methods: One hundred thirty-eight women and 82 men, aged >20 years, with JIA were studied after a mean disease duration of 15.
