Probability of PN dependence (Kaplan–Meir curve) in 124 adult patients with nonmalignant short bowel syndrome. Vertical bars indicate 95% CIs at 1, 2, and 5 years of follow-up. PN-dependence probabilities were 53% (95% CI, 44–62), 49% (40–58), and 45% (35–55) at 1, 2, and 5 years, respectively.

3. Fig 2
PN dependence of 124 adult patients with nonmalignant short bowel syndrome. Significant factors for PN dependence were (A) postduodenal remnant small bowel length, with 5-year probabilities of 9% (95% CI, 0–18), 37% (19–55), and 83% (71–95) for remnant lengths of 100–150, 50–99, and <50 cm, respectively; (B) presence (type 1) or absence (types 2 and 3) of end-jejunostomy, with 5-year probabilities of 78% (54–100) and 39% (29–49), respectively; and (C) presence (type 3) or absence (types 1 and 2) of ileocecal valve and cecum, with 5-year probabilities of 15% (0–31) and 52% (41–63), respectively. Distributions were compared using the log rank test.

Probability of survival (Kaplan–Meier curve) in 124 adult patients with nonmalignant short bowel syndrome. Vertical bars indicate 95% confidence intervals at 1, 2, 5, and 10 years of follow-up. Survival probabilities were 94% (95% CI, 90–98), 86% (80–92), 75% (67–83), and 60% (49–71) at 1, 2, 5, and 10 years, respectively.

5. Fig 4
Survival rate of 124 adult patients with nonmalignant short bowel syndrome. Significant factors were (A) main types of primary disease leading to small bowel resection; (B) postduodenal remnant small bowel length, with 5-year survival rates of 93% (95% CI, 84–100), 79% (66–92), and 57% (43–71) for remnant lengths of 100–150, 50–99, and <50 cm, respectively; and (C) presence (type 1) or absence (types 2 and 3) of end-jejunostomy, with 5-year survival rates of 44% (21–67) and 80% (72–88), respectively. Survival distributions were compared using the log rank test.
