Multiomics profiling and parenteral nutrition weaning in pediatric patients with intestinal failure: A longitudinal cohort study
In this exploratory study, we found that functional microbiome features and blood metabolomic profiles-particularly urea cycle metabolites, creatinine, asparagine, and tryptophan-derived metabolites-show promise for predicting intestinal function. Furthermore, they may have therapeutic implications for promoting intestinal adaptation. Confirmatory trials with larger sample sizes are needed to validate these findings.
