Abstract
The population which would benefit from small-bowel transplantation remains poorly defined. Both the United States and the United Kingdom have established registers of patients receiving home hyperalimentation. We chose to examine these records in an initial effort to identify the “at-need” population for this procedure. A further goal was to determine whether these registers contained sufficient information to act as a data base collection system for potential recipients of small-bowel transplants.
