Aim We performed this study to examine and understand the evolving demographics and changing outcomes of intestinal failure (IF) and its implications for healthcare delivery. Method Results We conducted a retrospective analysis of outcome data of children on home parenteral nutrition (HPN), over a 15-year period. A total of 31 patients received HPN: 15 for short bowel syndrome (SBS), eight neuromuscular disease (NMD) and eight for other causes. The HPN prevalence increased from 1.54 per million children in 2000 to 21.5 in 2016. The outcomes over last 5 years were better than those of previous 10 years. The rate of catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) had fallen from 4 to 1.3 and IF liver disease (IFALD) from 20% to 7.7%. The aetiology changed over years from SBS being the main cause to NMD contributing 43% to the total in 2016. This was especially relevant as NMD was associated with greater numbers of IFALD (38% vs 6.7%), CRBSI (1.51 vs 0.64/1000 PN days) and mortality. Conclusion The outcome of long-term parenteral nutrition (PN) has improved. The increasing number of patients with NMD, coupled with their higher burden of care, results in an increasing health care burden, and the planning of intestinal rehabilitation services needs to reflect this.
