    Abstract

    Although home parenteral nutrition (PN) can save the lives of patients with massive bowel loss that results in short-bowel syndrome and intestinal failure, quality of life is impaired by PN and its complications. We examined the 12-month tolerability and efficacy of teduglutide to reduce PN dependency.
