Liver fibrosis was assessed by TE and defined by a fibrosis score (FS)\u2009&gt;\u2009=\u20096.8\u00a0kPa. Baseline demographics, diagnosis, operation details, PN characteristics, and outcomes were compared between the fibrosis and non-fibrosis groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      37 children suffered from IF requiring prolonged PN were identified, and TE was performed in 19. 17 patients (89.5%) had massive bowel resection, and 2 (10.5%) had visceral myopathies. Necrotizing enterocolitis was the commonest cause of IF in this cohort (14, 73.7%). 8 (42.1%) remained dependent on PN at the time of TE. Median PN duration was 16 months (3\u2013144 months). 4 patients (21.1%) had liver fibrosis on TE. The fibrosis and non-fibrosis groups (15, 78.9%) were similar in terms of baseline demographics, operative details and PN characteristics. There were 2 deaths in the fibrosis group, one from IF related liver failure and the other from respiratory failure with known cholestasis.
