Its potential effects early after gut resection are not known. In this pilot observational study, we described the 1- and 6-month liraglutide effects in 19 adult patients with a new SBS diagnosis within 1 month after surgical resection. Stomal\/fecal and urinary outcomes, serum\/urinary electrolytes, and body composition were assessed. Both within-group differences and between-group comparisons with 20 SBS patients refusing liraglutide treatment were evaluated. The main liraglutide-related side effect was mild nausea, except in one patient, who experienced severe nausea\/vomiting. The median ostomy\/fecal output was significantly reduced by \u2212550 mL\/day after 6 months of treatment (vs. \u2212200 mL\/day in untreated, p = 0.04). The number of patients reaching a \u226520% output reduction was 10\/19 (52.6%) treated vs. 3\/20 (15.0%) untreated patients (p = 0.013) at 1 month and 12\/19 (63.2%) vs. 6\/20 (30.0%) (p = 0.038) at 6 months, respectively. Participants with a clinically relevant output reduction at 6 months had a significantly lower baseline weight and BMI. Energy parenteral supply significantly decreased, while infused volumes, oral energy, and fluid intakes slightly decreased, though not significantly. This pilot study supports liraglutide benefits in ostomy\/fecal output early after surgical gut resection in SBS patients, particularly in those with lower baseline weight values.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu15122740","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,14]],"date-time":"2023-06-14T02:01:40Z","timestamp":1686708100000},"page":"2740","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Effects of Treatment with Liraglutide Early after Surgical Intervention on Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Short Bowel Syndrome: A Pilot Observational \u201cReal-Life\u201d Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Fabio Dario","family":"Merlo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dietetic and Clinical Nutrition Unit, Citt\u00e0 della Salute e della Scienza Hospital, C.so Bramante 88, 10126 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Umberto","family":"Aimasso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dietetic and Clinical Nutrition Unit, Citt\u00e0 della Salute e della Scienza Hospital, C.so Bramante 88, 10126 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marta","family":"Ossola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dietetic and Clinical Nutrition Unit, Citt\u00e0 della Salute e della Scienza Hospital, C.so Bramante 88, 10126 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mirko","family":"Ippolito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dietetic and Clinical Nutrition Unit, Citt\u00e0 della Salute e della Scienza Hospital, C.so Bramante 88, 10126 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leila","family":"Cravero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dietetic and Clinical Nutrition Unit, Citt\u00e0 della Salute e della Scienza Hospital, C.so Bramante 88, 10126 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Valentina","family":"Ponzo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Science, University of Torino, C.so Dogliotti 14, 10126 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6862-8628","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Simona","family":"Bo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dietetic and Clinical Nutrition Unit, Citt\u00e0 della Salute e della Scienza Hospital, C.so Bramante 88, 10126 Torino, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Medical Science, University of Torino, C.so Dogliotti 14, 10126 Torino, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"171","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clnu.2014.08.017","article-title":"Home Artificial Nutrition & Chronic Intestinal Failure; Acute Intestinal Failure Special Interest Groups of ESPEN.
