none 34 no Background: Intestinal failure (IF) is the reduction in functioning gut mass below the minimal level necessary for adequate digestion and absorption of nutrients and fluids for weight maintenance in adults or for growth in children. There is a paucity of epidemiologic data on pediatric IF. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence, incidence, regional distribution and underlying diagnosis of pediatric chronic IF (CIF) requiring home parenteral nutrition (HPN) in Italy. Methods: Local investigators were selected in 19 Italian centers either of reference for pediatric HPN or having pediatric gastroenterologists or surgeons on staff and already collaborating with the Italian Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition with regard to IF. Data requested in this survey for children at home on Parenteral Nutrition (PN) on 1 December 2016 included patient initials, year of birth, gender, familyâs place of residence and underlying diagnosis determining IF. Results: We recorded 145 CIF patients on HPN aged â¤19 years. The overall prevalence was 14.12/million inhabitants (95% CI: 9.20â18.93); the overall incidence was 1.41/million inhabitant years (95% CI: 0.53â2.20). Conclusion: Our survey provides new epidemiological data on pediatric CIF in Italy; these data may be quantitatively useful in developing IF care strategy plans in all developed countries. open Diamanti, Antonella; Capriati, Teresa; Gandullia, Paolo; Dileo, Grazia; Lezo, Antonella; Lacitignola, Laura; Spagnuolo, Mariaimmacolata; Gatti, Simona; Dâantiga, Lorenzo; Verlato, Giovanna; Roggero, Paola; Amarri, Sergio; Baldassarre, Mariaelisabetta; Cirillo, Francesco; Elia, Domenica; Boldrini, Renata; Campanozzi, Angelo; Catassi, Carlo; Aloi, Marina; Romano, Claudio; Candusso, Manila; Cecchi, Nicola; Bellini, Tommaso; Tyndall, Elaine; Fusaro, Fabio; Caldaro, Tamara; Alberti, Daniele; Gamba, Piergiorgio; Lima, Mario; Bagolan, Pietro; De Goyet, Jean De Ville; Dallâoglio, Luigi; Spada, Marco; Grandi, Francesca Diamanti, Antonella; Capriati, Teresa; Gandullia, Paolo; Dileo, Grazia; Lezo, Antonella; Lacitignola, Laura; Spagnuolo, Mariaimmacolata; Gatti, Simona; Dâ antiga, Lorenzo; Verlato, Giovanna; Roggero, Paola; Amarri, Sergio; Baldassarre, Mariaelisabetta; Cirillo, Francesco; Elia, Domenica; Boldrini, Renata; Campanozzi, Angelo; Catassi, Carlo; Aloi, Marina; Romano, Claudio; Candusso, Manila; Cecchi, Nicola; Bellini, Tommaso; Tyndall, Elaine; Fusaro, Fabio; Caldaro, Tamara; Alberti, Daniele; Gamba, Piergiorgio; Lima, Mario; Bagolan, Pietro; De Goyet, Jean De Ville; Dallâ oglio, Luigi; Spada, Marco; Grandi, Francesca
