Abstract

Children with short bowel syndrome are at increased risk of malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies. A descriptive study of 50 children with short bowel syndrome was being treated at the National Children’s Hospital to look into nutritional status and micronutrient deficiency. The age of the study group is from 10 days to 64 months, the prevalence rate for boys/girls is 1.8/1. All children in the study had short bowel syndrome after bowel resection, the most common cause being intestinal obstruction accounting for 34.0%. The rate of severe underweight malnutrition accounted for the highest rate (72.0%). The micronutrients surveyed: vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium are all deficient, in which vitamin D has the highest deficiency rate, up to 74%. Malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies are common in children with short bowel syndrome.
