Summary

This study tested whether giving growth hormone to children with short bowel syndrome could help them reduce or stop needing IV nutrition. Fourteen children aged 3-18 who had been on IV nutrition for at least 3 years took part. The results will show if the hormone improves intestinal absorption and allows some children to be weaned off IV support.
