A case report on the long‐term use of teduglutide in a pediatric patient with short bowel syndrome

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is the leading cause of intestinal failure, frequently necessitating long‐term parenteral nutrition (PN). Teduglutide (TED), a glucagon‐like peptide‐2 analog, has demonstrated efficacy in reducing PN dependence in both adults and children. However, long‐term data in pediatric populations remain limited.
