The diagnosis of pediatric-onset inflammatory bowel disease (PIBD) can be challenging in choosing the most informative diagnostic tests and correctly classifying PIBD into its different subtypes. Recent advances our understanding natural history phenotype PIBD, increasing availability serological fecal biomarkers, emergence novel endoscopic imaging technologies taken together have made previous Porto criteria for obsolete.We aimed to revise original using an evidence-based approach consensus...
Children and adolescents with Crohn's disease (CD) present often a more complicated course compared to adult patients. In addition, the potential impact of CD on growth, pubertal emotional development patients underlines need for specific management strategy pediatric-onset CD. To develop first evidenced based consensus driven guidelines an expert panel 33 IBD specialists was formed after open call within European Colitis Organisation Society Pediatric Gastroenterolog, Hepatology Nutrition....
This guideline provides recommendations for the diagnosis and management of suspected cow's-milk protein allergy (CMPA) in Europe. It presents a practical approach with diagnostic algorithm is based on recently published evidence-based guidelines CMPA.If CMPA by history examination, then strict allergen avoidance initiated. In certain circumstances (eg, clear immediate symptoms, life-threatening reaction positive test CMP-specific IgE), can be made without milk challenge. all other...
Background: The probiotic Lactobacillus GG is effective in promoting a more rapid recovery of acute, watery diarrhea children with rotavirus enteritis. Very limited information available, however, on the potential role such agents nonrotaviral diarrheal episodes. Furthermore, no evidence available concerning efficacy administered oral rehydration solution during therapy. A multicenter trial was conducted to evaluate patients acute-onset all causes. Methods: Children 1 month 3 years age were...
ABSTRACT Background and Aims: Pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC) shares many features with adult‐onset disease but there are some unique considerations; therefore, therapeutic approaches have to be adapted these particular needs. We aimed formulate guidelines for managing UC in children based on a systematic review (SR) of the literature robust consensus process. The present article is product joint effort European Crohn's Colitis Organization (ECCO) Society Paediatric Gastroenterology,...
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) represents a chronic, immune/antigen-mediated esophageal disease characterized clinically by symptoms related to dysfunction and histologically eosinophil-predominant inflammation. With few exceptions, 15 eosinophils per high-power field (peak value) in ≥1 biopsy specimens are considered minimum threshold for diagnosis of EoE. The is restricted the esophagus, other causes eosinophilia should be excluded, specifically proton pump inhibitor-responsive...
ABSTRACT Enteral nutrition support (ENS) involves both the delivery of nutrients via feeding tubes and provision specialised oral nutritional supplements. ENS is indicated in a patient with at least partially functioning digestive tract when intake inadequate or normal food inappropriate to meet patients' needs. The aim this comment by Committee on Nutrition European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, provide clinical practice guide ENS, based available evidence expertise...
This guideline refers to infants, children, and adolescents ages 0 18 years. The areas covered include indications for diagnostic therapeutic esophagogastroduodenoscopy ileocolonoscopy; endoscopy foreign body ingestion; corrosive ingestion stricture/stenosis endoscopic management; upper lower gastrointestinal bleeding; retrograde cholangiopancreatography; ultrasonography. Percutaneous gastrostomy specific inflammatory bowel disease has been dealt with in other guidelines are therefore not...
This Executive summary of the Guideline on pediatric gastrointestinal endoscopy from European Society Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) and for Paediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology Nutrition (ESPGHAN) refers to infants, children, adolescents aged 0 – 18 years. The areas covered include: indications diagnostic therapeutic esophagogastroduodenoscopy ileocolonoscopy; foreign body ingestion; endoscopic management corrosive ingestion stricture/stenosis; upper lower bleeding; retrograde...
Introduction Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders beyond eosinophilic esophagitis ( non‐EoE EGIDs ) are rare chronic inflammatory of the (GI) tract. Diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms and histologic findings inflammation after exclusion a secondary cause or systemic disease. Currently, no guidelines exist for evaluation . Therefore, European Society Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology Nutrition (ESPGHAN) North American Pediatric (NASPGHAN) formed task force group to provide...
With the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, concerns have been raised about risk to children with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). We aimed collate global experience and provide provisional guidance for managing paediatric IBD (PIBD) in era of COVID-19.An electronic reporting system infected SARS-CoV-2 has circulated among 102 PIBD centres affiliated Porto Interest-group ESPGHAN. A survey completed by major China South-Korea explore management during pandemic. third...
ABSTRACT Objectives: This European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) position statement provides a comprehensive guide health care providers to manage percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tubes in safe, effective, appropriate way. Methods: Relevant literature from searches of PubMed, CINAHL, recent guidelines was reviewed. In the absence evidence, recommendations reflect expert opinion authors. Final consensus obtained by multiple e‐mail exchange...
ABSTRACT Objective: Despite a substantial consistency in recommendations for the management of children with acute gastroenteritis (AGE), high variability clinical practice and rate inappropriate medical interventions persist both developing developed countries. The aim this study was to develop set nonseverely malnourished AGE be applied worldwide. Methods: Federation International Societies Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Nutrition (FISPGHAN) Working Group (WG) selected care...
The incidence of Crohn disease (CD) has been increasing and surgery needs to be contemplated in a substantial number cases. relevant advent biological treatment changed but not eliminated the need for many patients. Despite previous publications on indications CD, there was comprehensive review existing evidence role elective options pediatric patients affected with CD. We present an expert opinion critical literature provide evidence-based guidance manage these Indications, surgical...
End points used to determine treatment efficacy in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) have evolved over time. With multiple novel therapies development for EoE, harmonization of outcomes measures will facilitate evidence synthesis and appraisal when comparing different treatments. We sought develop a core outcome set (COS) controlled observational studies pharmacologic diet interventions adult pediatric patients with EoE. Candidate were generated from systematic literature reviews patient...
In 2005, the Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Working Group of European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition published consensus guidelines on diagnostic workup paediatric IBD, Porto criteria. According to these guidelines, children suspected having IBD should undergo an oesophagogastroduodenoscopy (OGD), ileocolonoscopy, (except in cases definitive ulcerative colitis) adequate imaging small bowel. To audit evaluate patients with Europe, created EUROKIDS, a...
Robust evaluation of induction therapies using both clinical and inflammatory outcomes in pediatric Crohn's disease (CD) are sparse. We attempted to evaluate clinical, inflammatory, composite remission (normal C reactive protein [CRP] remission) a large prospective multicenter study. Patients enrolled at diagnosis into the growth relapse with therapy study were evaluated for activity, CRP, fecal calprotectin 8, 12 52 weeks after starting treatment. The primary endpoint was week-12...
