Join the 2026 ESPEN CIF Action Day Data Collection
The 2026 data collection for the ESPEN "Chronic Intestinal Failure (CIF) Action Day database" is set to start on March 1st.
This annual data collection supports the prospective multicenter study on CIF outcomes promoted by the HAN & CIF group. Since 2015, 141 centers from 42 countries have included 19,488 patients. Participating allows you to receive a tool for clinical practice and benchmarking, contribute to international surveys, and improve care delivery.
To receive the study protocol and database, please send a request with your details (Name, Profession, Specialty, Affiliation, Hospital, City, Country, Address, Phone, Email, CIF age category, and HPN start year).
Send your request to the study coordinator, Loris Pironi, at espencifday@gmail.com.
