Crohn's disease (CD) is often treated with either exclusive or supplemental enteral nutrition (EN) in pediatrics, but adult practice guidelines primarily focus on medications. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of a 4-week semi-elemental-formula-based oral nutrition delivery program for managing adult CD ( = 4). Patients consumed ~66% of calories from the formula, a finding that might provide an improved calorie target for future trials. We identified as the only differentially abundant genus, distinguishing post-intervention samples from pre-intervention samples. Findings from this pilot trial demonstrate the feasibility of a partial enteral nutrition protocol in adult CD management and contribute to the growing body of literature on the potential role of EN therapy in adults with CD.
克罗恩病(CD)在儿科通常采用全肠内营养或补充肠内营养(EN)进行治疗,但成人实践指南主要侧重于药物治疗。在此,我们证明了一项基于半要素配方的为期4周的口服营养输送计划用于管理成人CD(n = 4)的可行性。患者从该配方中摄入了约66%的热量,这一发现可能为未来试验提供一个更高的热量目标。我们确定[具体内容缺失]为唯一差异丰富的属,可将干预后样本与干预前样本区分开来。这项试点试验的结果证明了部分肠内营养方案在成人CD管理中的可行性,并为关于EN治疗在成人CD患者中潜在作用的不断增长的文献做出了贡献。
