To evaluate the trend in Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) among hospitalized children United States and to severity of risk factors associated with these cases CDI.
Functional luminal imaging probe (FLIP) panometry can evaluate esophageal motility in response to sustained distension at the time of sedated endoscopy. This study aimed describe a classification using FLIP and it against high-resolution manometry (HRM) Chicago Classification v4.0 (CCv4.0).Five hundred thirty-nine adult patients who completed HRM with conclusive CCv4.0 diagnosis were included primary analysis. Thirty-five asymptomatic volunteers ("controls") 148 an inconclusive or systemic...
ABSTRACT Background: Adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have an increased risk of venous thrombotic events (TEs). We sought to evaluate the for TE in children and adolescents IBD using a large population database. Methods: The triennial Healthcare Cost Utilization Project Kids' Inpatient Database was used retrospective cohort study hospitalized United States across 1997, 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009. Billing codes were identify discharges Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis, pulmonary...
Fecal soiling is a challenging problem in some children after pull-through surgery for Hirschsprung disease (HSCR). The prevailing perception that results from overflow incontinence; however, its treatment with laxatives yields mixed results. Colonic manometry studies are reported to be normal most patients this population. interpretation of these findings does not support the physiology fecal incontinence children. aim present study was define underlying daily, frequent HSCR using...
INTRODUCTION: High-resolution manometry (HRM) and functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) are primary and/or complementary diagnostic tools for the evaluation of esophageal motility. We aimed to assess interrater agreement accuracy HRM FLIP interpretations. METHODS: Esophageal motility specialists from multiple institutions completed interpretation 40 consecutive studies. Interrater was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) continuous variables Fleiss' κ statistics nominal...
The American Neurogastroenterology and Motility Society Task Force recommends that gastrointestinal motility procedures should be performed in laboratories adhering to the strict recommendations personal protective equipment (PPE) measures protect patients, ancillary staff, allied health professionals. When available within constraints of institutional guidelines, it is preferable for patients scheduled complete a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) test 48 hours before their procedure,...
ABSTRACT Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) organisms are a leading cause of infectious diarrhea in developing countries. A live, attenuated cholera strain that expresses high levels the nontoxic B subunit toxin, which might also serve as an ETEC protective antigen, was evaluated for safety, excretion, and immunogenicity healthy volunteers. We enrolled four inpatient dose-escalation cohorts 15 to 16 eligible subjects randomly (3:1) receive single oral dose vaccine or placebo (buffer...
Objective: This study aimed to determine if preoperative impedance testing changed management and was associated with surgical outcome in patients undergoing airway reconstruction. Methods: Retrospective review of who had prior reconstruction at a tertiary pediatric hospital from January 2010 September 2011. Charts were reviewed for demographics, medical/surgical history, testing, outcomes. Results: Fifty-seven included. Forty-seven (82%) premature. primary diagnosis subglottic stenosis....
Ineffective esophageal motility (IEM) on high-resolution manometry (HRM) is not consistently associated with specific clinical syndromes or outcomes. We evaluated the prevalence, features, management, and outcomes of pediatric IEM patients across United States.
ABSTRACT Objectives: Fundoplication is a commonly performed pediatric surgery but the can result in nonspecific symptoms that merit further evaluation. The goal of this study was to determine utility Functional Luminal Imaging Probe (FLIP) compared with high‐resolution manometry impedance (HRIM) evaluation fundoplication symptoms. Methods: We reviewed FLIP and HRIM tracings symptomatic patients. results patients those achalasia control also role clinical decision‐making outcomes. Results:...
Functional luminal imaging probes (FLIP) have been used by multiple centers to assess esophagogastric junction (EGJ) function in patients at risk for esophageal obstruction but its role diagnosing peristaltic disorders is less well studied. In particular, there are no studies comparing the sensitivity of FLIP diagnose motility abnormalities and impaired bolus transit high-resolution manometry with impedance.We prospectively recruited 42 undergoing impedance (HRIM) who also underwent between...
Abstract Objective The purpose of the study was to determine if antegrade continence enema (ACE) alone is an effective treatment for patients with severe functional constipation and segmental colonic dysmotility. Methods A retrospective dysmotility who underwent ACE as their initial means management. Data collected from six participating sites in Pediatric Colorectal Pelvic Learning Consortium. Patients had a resection at same time or previously were excluded analysis. Only 21 years old...
This is the first Latin American Consensus of Pan Crohn's and Colitis Organisation (PANCCO) regarding special situations in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim this consensus to raise awareness medical community all countries respect pregnancy, vaccinations, infections, neoplasms, including colorectal cancer, pediatric issues IBD. Este es el primer Consenso Latinoamericano de la que corresponde a situaciones especiales en pacientes con enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal...
ABSTRACT Objectives: Motility and functional disorders are common in children often debilitating, yet these remain challenging to treat effectively. At the 2018 Annual North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology Nutrition meeting, Neurogastroenterology Committee held a full day symposium entitled, Advances In NeuroGastroenterology – AIMING future. The aimed explore clinical paradigms pediatric gastrointestinal motility provided foundation advancing new scientific...
Objectives. Cough, pain, and desaturation episodes in infants are often ascribed to gastroesophageal reflux, many empirically treated with acid suppression medications. The authors hypothesize that most of these symptoms not related reflux. Methods. Retrospective review 186 combined pH–multichannel intraluminal impedance studies performed at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. Results. Of 4159 reported 1504 (36%) were associated reflux events (27% nonacid 9% acid). When total number taken into...
