Measurement of Body Composition by Air Displacement Plethysmography in Pediatric Intestinal Failure Patients

NCT02561819 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study will determine if air-displacement plethysmography (ADP) provides accurate measurement of body composition (percent body fat and fat-free mass) in pediatric patients with intestinal failure, as compared to body composition measured by alternative standard methods, including deuterium dilution, bioimpedance analysis (BIA), dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) when clinically indicated, and routine anthropometric measurements.
