About

The association between social deprivation and chronic disease is regularly examined but there are no data available on patients with intestinal failure due to short bowel syndrome (SBS-IF). First, the investigators aim to characterize this population and then to assess if insecurity is associated with some disease criteria.

Full description

This exploratory cross-sectional study was conducted on patients affected by intestinal failure in short bowel syndrome and monitored by the certified home parenteral nutrition (HPN) center of Nancy University Hospital.

The investigators included all patients over 18 years old suffering from SBS-IF followed-up by the certified HPN center of Nancy University Hospital between March 1st, 2020, and November 30th, 2023.

The f-EDI (a European ecological index adapted to France) was determined for each participant.

The investigators set the initial date at 2020, as this corresponds to the start of the use of patient-specific formulas in the center. Exclusion criteria were: not living in France, because it's required to use French-EDI and patients under 18 years old because they are monitored by the children's hospital. Investigators also excluded patients with transitory type 1 SBS who would have a bowel length over 2 meters after re-establishment of digestive continuity.
