  1. Subscript numbers (1 and 2) indicate separate episodes for the same patient. The letters a and b identify different patient cases reported in the same reference. Episodes from non-SBS patients are marked with an asterisk. Episodes included in qualitative synthesis simultaneously reported at least one high D-lactate level (from blood or urine analysis) and documented neurological symptoms
