Reasons for non-listing for visceral transplantation at the Scandinavian reference center

Results:The study found that the number of years with HPN was the only significant predictor of independence, with both Chi-square (p=0.007) and logistic regression (p=0.002)showing statistical significance.Higher education level, better health literacy and younger age showed numeric trends, but failed to reach statistical significance.Conclusions: The complexity of benign intestinal failure and the associated HPN procedure require education programs tailored to the patient.From this study only the number of years with HPN proved to be a significant predictor of the patient's degree of independence.Further research with larger sample size is needed to confirm these findings and better understand the relationship between patient characteristics and HPN independence.
