Figure 1 Study design. A, adults; HPN, home parenteral nutrition; IF, intestinal failure; ITx, intestinal transplantation; P, pediatrics (≤18 years of age). Cause of IF in 72 patients weaned off HPN was short bowel (47 patients; 65.3%), chronic motility disorder (11 patients; 15.3%), intestinal fistula (3 patients; 4.2%), and extensive mucosal disease (11 patients; 15.3%).

Figure 2 Kaplan–Meier survival rates of patients (adults and pediatrics) with irreversible intestinal failure on home parenteral nutrition, non-candidates for intestinal transplantation (Noncandidates, n = 320) or candidates for intestinal transplantation who did not undergo a transplantation (Candidates non-Tx, n = 138).

Figure 3 Kaplan–Meier survival rates of candidates for intestinal transplantation who did not undergo a transplantation (adults and pediatrics), according to the indication criteria subgroups. Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) failure (n = 69), high risk of death because of the underlying disease (n = 54), high morbidity intestinal failure (IF) or low acceptance of HPN (n = 15).

Figure 4 Kaplan–Meier survival rate in the subgroups of patients who received a small bowel transplant without liver for the first time and of candidates not undergoing transplantation who had a home parenteral nutrition (HPN)–related liver failure or a central venous catheter (CVC)–related major complication. (All the subgroups comprise adult and pediatric patients). First intestinal transplantation (ITx) (n = 10), small bowel transplant without liver transplantation for the first time; HPN liver failure (n = 27), candidates not undergoing transplantation who had HPN-related liver failure; CVC-complications (n = 40), candidates not undergoing transplantation who had multiple CVC-related deep vein thrombosis (n = 33) or frequent sepsis (n = 7).
