Parenteral nutrition dependence and growth in pediatric patients with intestinal failure following transition to blenderized tube feedings: A case series
The transition from AA or hydrolyzed formula to BTF was associated with a substantial reduction in PN support in 12 children with IF. Stool frequency and growth parameters were not significantly changed. Our findings suggest that the use of BTF in older children with IF should be considered.
