BMI: body mass index (Kg/m2). SBS-JI = SBS patients with jejuno-ileal anastomosis, SBS-JC = SBS patients with jejuno-colonic anastomosis. Remnant jejunum and ileum length and colon in continuity were expressed in cm and in % of common colon length, respectively. Delay was in months from the last surgery establishing an anastomosis between the jejunum and the remaining colon. Total oral was expressed in Kcal/day. Parenteral nutrition (PN) support was expressed in number (n) of perfusion per week (PN/week) and kcal/perfusion. Resting energy expenditure (REE) was expressed in kcal/day. Hyperphagia is defined as oral intake/REE > 1.5. Plasma levels of leptin are in ng/mL and prealbumin are in g/L. Values are median and 25th and 75th percentile. Etiology of SBS were arterial mesenteric infraction (n = 5), volvulus (n = 1), intestinal occlusion (n = 1) and surgical complications (n = 3) with no residual lesions of the remnant intestine.
