Eating behaviors of children with intestinal failure and those who achieve enteral autonomy: An observational cross-sectional study.

Background: Children with intestinal failure (IF) receiving prolonged parenteral nutrition (PN) are exposed to risk factors that predispose them to developing disordered eating behavior. This study aimed to assess the food interest patterns of PN-dependent children with IF and those who achieved enteral autonomy (EA).

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in children aged 1-14 years with IF currently receiving PN for >60 days and in children who achieved EA.

Is neurodevelopment impaired in Brazilian children with intestinal failure on prolonged parenteral nutrition? A single center study.

Purpose: To assess the neurodevelopment outcomes of children younger than 42 months of age with intestinal failure (IF) using prolonged parenteral nutrition (PN) followed by a Pediatric Multidisciplinary Intestinal Rehabilitation Program from a public tertiary hospital in Brazil.

Methods: Bayley III scale was administered in children aged 2 to 42 months with IF and receiving PN for more than 60 days. Composite scores in cognitive, motor, and language domains were analyzed.

Bioelectrical impedance phase angle and nutritional status in children with intestinal failure on prolonged parenteral nutrition.

Objective: To compare the phase angle (PhA) through bioelectrical impedance (BIA) of children with intestinal failure (IF) using prolonged parenteral nutrition (PN) followed by an Intestinal Rehabilitation Program, with a control group.

Methods: Children under 10 years of age with IF using prolonged PN for >60 days (study group) were included. The control group consisted of healthy children without chronic pathologies, matched by sex and age.

Outcomes of the First 54 Pediatric Patients on Long-Term Home Parenteral Nutrition from a Single Brazilian Center.

Objectives: Data on multidisciplinary programs dedicated to home parenteral nutrition (HPN) in Latin America are limited. This study describes the results of the first multidisciplinary pediatric intestinal rehabilitation program for HPN at a public tertiary hospital in Brazil.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients aged 0-18 years with intestinal failure (IF) who required parenteral nutrition (PN) for >60 days between January/2014 and December/2020.

Associated factors with early introduction of ultra-processed foods in feeding of children under two years old.

Objective: To verify the association of maternal and anthropometric factors with consumption of ultra-processed foods in children between 4 to 24 months.

Methods: cross-sectional study with 300 children hospitalized in a tertiary hospital and their mothers. The interview took place during the first 72 hours of hospitalization to avoid interference in the responses about the child's diet.
