[PMID: 37943479 DOI: 10.1007/s12664-023-01440-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2021] [Accepted: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been known to be a disease predominant in the west. There is scarcity of data on pediatric IBD (P-IBD) from northern India. The objective of our study was to analyze the clinical spectrum of P-IBD in northern India. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 126 children (<18-year old) diagnosed with IBD from January 1999 to December 2019 was done on a pre-designed proforma. It was systematically entered in a MS Excel spreadsheet and analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0. The descriptive phenotypes of Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) were revised according to the Paris classification. RESULTS Of 126 children, UC was diagnosed in 76 (60.3%), CD in 44 (34.9%) and IBD-unclassified (IBD-U) in six (4.76%) patients. The mean age at diagnosis was 11.3 years; 38.8% were < 10 years with the male: female ratio of 1.6:1. Sixteen children (12.7%) had very early onset IBD (VEOBD). Overall, the median time to diagnosis in IBD was 12 months (interquartile range [IQR]: 3.25-24), which was as high as 52.5 months (IQR: 11-98) in CD. Pancolitis with bleeding per rectum and ileocolonic involvement with pain in abdomen were the commonest presentations in UC and CD, respectively. Stricturing disease was seen in 27% of CD cases. Relapses were seen in 46% (35/76) of U.C and 23% (10/44) of CD kids. Step-up treatment protocol was employed in them with the use of biologicals in 12% of cases. There was a 2.75-fold rise in the IBD cases in the last 10 years (2010-20). There was reduction in time to diagnosis (21 months vs. 90 months; p - 0.012) and empirical anti-tubercular therapy use (90% vs. 5.8%) in CD over two decades. CONCLUSION From our experience in a tertiary care centre in northern India, P-IBD is on the rise. UC is more common than CD. Pancolitis and ileocolonic disease are the commonest disease sites in UC and CD, respectively There is a significant delay in the time to diagnosis in CD. Stricturing disease was seen in a quarter of children with CD.

Abstract
This cross-sectional study presents the nutritional status of newly diagnosed pediatric patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) and its association with the duration of the disease and selected clinical features. We analyzed the data of 41 pediatric patients with CD and 29 with UC (mean age: 13.1 y, range: 5.2-18.0 y) up to 3 mo. from diagnosis. Anthropometry included body weight, body height, body mass index (BMI), three skinfold thicknesses, mid-upper arm circumference and mid-upper arm muscle circumference adjusted for age and sex using national standards. Anthropometry was linked to the disease duration, location of the disease, symptoms, and blood test results. Both studied groups presented significantly lower BMI compared to the reference population, but only children with CD characterized with significantly worse nutritional status according to arm anthropometry. In CD, better nutritional status was associated mainly with longer disease duration and, to a lesser extent, with extraintestinal manifestations, perianal disease, and small intestinal lesions. In UC, anemia at diagnosis was associated with poor nutritional status. Our finding emphasizes the need for more attentive diagnostic care for pediatric patients who exhibit extraintestinal symptoms or perianal disease with no obvious signs of malnutrition, to avoid diagnostic delays.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with chronic gastrointestinal disease such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), celiac disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), pancreatitis, and chronic liver disease (CLD) often suffer from obesity because of coincidence (IBD, IBS, celiac disease) or related pathophysiology (GERD, pancreatitis and CLD). It is unclear if such patients need a particular diagnostic and treatment that differs from the needs of lean gastrointestinal patients. The present guideline addresses this question according to current knowledge and evidence. OBJECTIVE The present practical guideline is intended for clinicians and practitioners in general medicine, gastroenterology, surgery and other obesity management, including dietitians and focuses on obesity care in patients with chronic gastrointestinal diseases. METHODS The present practical guideline is the shortened version of a previously published scientific guideline developed according to the standard operating procedure for ESPEN guidelines. The content has been re-structured and transformed into flow-charts that allow a quick navigation through the text. RESULTS In 100 recommendations (3× A, 33× B, 24 × 0, 40× GPP, all with a consensus grade of 90% or more) care of gastrointestinal patients with obesity - including sarcopenic obesity - is addressed in a multidisciplinary way. A particular emphasis is on CLD, especially metabolic associated liver disease, since such diseases are closely related to obesity, whereas liver cirrhosis is rather associated with sarcopenic obesity. A special chapter is dedicated to obesity care in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. The guideline focuses on adults, not on children, for whom data are scarce. Whether some of the recommendations apply to children must be left to the judgment of the experienced pediatrician. CONCLUSION The present practical guideline offers in a condensed way evidence-based advice how to care for patients with chronic gastrointestinal diseases and concomitant obesity, an increasingly frequent constellation in clinical practice.

Abstract
Malnutrition and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are interrelated conditions. Our aim was to assess the prevalence of malnutrition, to compare anthropometric parameters in the evaluation of nutritional status in pediatric IBD, and to investigate the association between anthropometric parameters and disease activity indices (AI). Pediatric patients with newly diagnosed IBD recorded between 2010 and 2016 in the Hungarian Pediatric IBD Registry were included in this cross-sectional study. Body weight, body mass index (BMI), weight-for-height, and ideal body weight percent (IBW%) were analyzed. Pearson linear and non-linear correlations and polynomial regression analyses were performed to assess correlation between nutritional status and AI. p-values < 0.05 were considered significant. Anthropometric data of 1027 children with IBD (Crohn’s disease (CD): 699; ulcerative colitis (UC): 328; mean age 13.7 years) were analyzed. IBW% identified more obese patients than BMI both in CD (7.02% vs. 2.28%) and UC (12.17% vs. 5.48%). Significant negative correlation was found among anthropometric parameters and AI in CD. In contrast, polynomial regression analysis revealed a U-shaped correlation curve between IBW% and AI in UC. Our findings show that obesity has a bimodal association with disease activity in pediatric UC. Furthermore, IBW% was more useful to identify obese pediatric patients with IBD.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease has become a global health problem at the turn of the 21st century. The pathogenesis of this disorder has not been fully explained. In addition to non-modifiable genetic factors, a number of modifiable factors such as diet or gut microbiota have been identified. In this paper, the authors focus on the role of nutrition in the prevention of inflammatory bowel disease as well as on the available options to induce disease remission by means of dietary interventions such as exclusive and partial enteral nutrition in Crohn's disease, the efficacy of which is reported to be comparable to that of steroid therapy. Diet is also important in patients with inflammatory bowel disease in the remission stage, during which some patients report irritable bowel disease-like symptoms. In these patients, the effectiveness of diets restricting the intake of oligo-, di-, monosaccharides, and polyols is reported.

Methylation of RUNX3 Promoter 2 in the Whole Blood of Children with Ulcerative Colitis. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13091568. [PMID: 36140736 PMCID: PMC9498668 DOI: 10.3390/genes13091568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Revised: 08/22/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) results from a complex interplay between the environment, gut microbiota, host genetics, and immunity. Runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3) regulates Th1/Th2 balance and, thus, the synthesis of cytokines and inflammation. We aimed to analyze the dependence of RUNX3 promoter 2 (P2) methylation level on: age, sex, body mass index (BMI), C-reactive protein (CRP), serum albumin, disease duration, Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index (PUCAI), the Paris classification, and exposure to medications. This multicenter, cross-sectional study recruited hospitalized children with UC. Methylation of RUNX3 P2 was measured with methylation-sensitive restriction enzymes in the whole blood DNA. Sixty-four children were enrolled, with a mean age of 14.5 ± 2.8 years. Half of them were female (51.6%), and the average BMI Z-score was −0.44 ± 1.14. The mean methylation of RUNX3 P2 was 54.1 ± 13.3%. The methylation level of RUNX3 P2 did not correlate with age, sex, nutritional status, CRP, albumin, PUCAI, or the extent of colitis (Paris E1–E4). RUNX3 P2 methylation did not differ between patients recruited within two and a half months of diagnosis and children who had UC for at least a year. Current or past exposure to biologics, immunosuppressants, or steroids was not associated with RUNX3 P2 methylation. Methylation of RUNX3 promoter 2 in whole blood DNA does not seem to be associated with the characteristics of UC in children.

Overweight and Obese Status Is Not Associated With Disease Activity for Children and Adolescents With Newly Diagnosed Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Am J Gastroenterol 2022; 117:1146-1153. [PMID: 35470288 DOI: 10.14309/ajg.0000000000001803] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2021] [Accepted: 04/20/2022] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite the high prevalence of pediatric obesity, its impact on Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) activity remains poorly characterized. The aim of this study was to evaluate disease-related outcomes in overweight and obese children with CD and UC. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the ImproveCareNow Network, a multicenter registry of children with inflammatory bowel disease. We included children with newly diagnosed CD and UC enrolled in ImproveCareNow Network from September 2006 to December 2018 who had at least 1 follow-up visit 12-18 months after diagnosis. Patients were stratified into normal weight, overweight, or obese categories. Primary outcome was remission at 1 year based on physician's global assessment (PGA); key secondary outcomes included short pediatric CD activity index and pediatric UC activity index. RESULTS There were 4,972 children included (70% CD). Compared with normal weight, obese and overweight children with CD did not have worse disease activity at 1 year based on PGA. However, obese children did have modestly worse disease activity based on short pediatric CD activity index (inactive 43% vs 58%, mild 48% vs 36%, and moderate-severe 9% vs 7% for obese vs normal weight, P < 0.01). For children with UC, there were no differences in disease activity at 1 year based on PGA or pediatric UC activity index. Logistic regression mirrored these findings. DISCUSSION Obese and overweight children with newly diagnosed inflammatory bowel disease do not seem to have worsened disease activity at 1 year after diagnosis compared with normal weight children.

Abstract
Given the paucity of data, we aimed to assess the impact of obesity on disease activity, complications, and quality of life (QoL) in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. Methods Prospective analysis of pediatric IBD patients. Patients were categorized into 4 groups according to the World Health Organization (WHO) child growth standards: obese, overweight, normal weight, and underweight. Results Three hundred twenty-seven pediatric patients were included (146 with Crohn's disease [CD], 181 with ulcerative colitis of whom 13 [4%] were underweight, 272 [83.2%] had normal weight, 22 [6.7%] were overweight, and 20 [6.1%] were obese). Compared with normal weight patients, obese ulcerative colitis had a significantly higher clinical but not biological disease activity nor severity. Compared with normal weight patients, overweight/obese CD patients did not have higher clinical or biological disease activity nor severity. Perianal abscesses and surgery for this purpose were more frequently observed in overweight/obese CD patients compared with normal weight controls. Overweight/obese IBD patients were similarly hospitalized in the last 12 months compared with normal weight controls. Conclusions Prevalence of overweight/obesity was 12.8% in pediatric IBD patients. Obesity was not associated with a decrease in disease remission rates nor an increase in the risk of complicated disease progression in IBD pediatric patients, except for the occurrence of perianal abscesses and related surgery in CD patients.

Abstract
Dietary fatty acids are absorbed through the intestine and are fundamental for cellular energy provision and structural formation. Dietary fatty acids profoundly affect intestinal immunity and influence the development and progression of inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal infections and tumors. Although different types of fatty acids exert differential roles in intestinal immunity, a western diet, rich in saturated fatty acids with abundant carbohydrates and studied as high-fat diet (HFD) in animal experiments, disturbs intestinal homeostasis and plays a pathogenic role in intestinal inflammatory diseases. Here, we review recent findings on the regulation of intestinal immunity by dietary fatty acids, focusing on HFD. We summarize HFD-altered immune responses leading to susceptibility to intestinal pathology and dissect the mechanisms involving the impact of HFD on immune cells, intestinal epithelial cells and the microbiota. Understanding the perturbation of intestinal immunity by HFD will provide new strategies for prevention and treatment of intestinal inflammatory diseases.

Nutritional characteristic of children with inflammatory bowel disease in the nationwide inflammatory bowel disease registry from the Mediterranean region. Eur J Clin Nutr 2022; 76:1289-1296. [PMID: 35173290 DOI: 10.1038/s41430-022-01094-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2021] [Revised: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 01/26/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES We analyzed the nationwide pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (PIBD) registry (1998-2016), to evaluate the nutritional status at the time of diagnosis. SUBJECTS/METHODS Nine types of nutritional status by the combination of weight-for-length (<2 years)/body mass index (>2 years) and length/height-for-age with three categories (<-2, -2 to 2, and >2 SD) were described. Malnutrition was defined by WHO criteria. Univariate and multivariate regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for malnutrition. RESULTS In total, 824 IBD patients (498 Ulcerative colitis (UC); 289 Crohn's Disease (CD); 37 Indeterminate Colitis (IC); 412 male; the median age 12.5 years) were eligible. The prevalence of eutrophy, wasting/thinness, stunting, overweight, tall stature, concurrent wasting/thinness and stunting, tall stature with overweight, tall stature with wasting/thinness, and short stature with overweight were 67.4%, 14.9%, 6.6%, 3.1%, 3.2%, 3.3%, 1.1%, 0.4%, and 0.1%, respectively. The prevalence of malnutrition was 32.7%, indicating a higher prevalence in CD (p < 0.001). Incidence of overweight was less common in the CD than UC and IC (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that age of onset (>10 years), prepubertal stage, severe disease activity, perianal involvement, and high C reactive protein level were independently associated with malnutrition in pediatric IBD. CONCLUSION We showed the frequency of nutritional impairment in PIBD. The percentage of overweight subjects was lower than the other studies. The age of onset, disease activity, CRP level, perianal involvement, and pubertal stage were associated with a higher risk for developing malnutrition. Our results also confirmed that CD patients are particularly vulnerable to nutritional impairment. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04457518.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) generally show an alteration in their fat and soft tissue mass contents. These alterations may influence disease severity and increase the risk of post-operative complications. METHODS This is a retrospective cross-sectional study of patients with IBD, diagnosed and followed up between 2013 and 2018, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, who had dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans for bone density evaluation. Obesity was defined based on fat mass index (FMI) and myopenia based on appendicular skeletal muscle mass (SMMa). RESULTS This study incorporated 95 child and adolescent patients (52% female) with IBD: 59 with Crohn's disease (CD) and 36 with ulcerative colitis (UC), mean age 11.8 ± 3.3 years and mean duration of illness 1.8 ± 1.9 years. The most common disease phenotype and behaviour for CD patients were ileocolonic (57.6%) and non-stricturing and non-penetrating (76.3%). Of UC patients, 75% had extensive disease (pancolitis). Body composition profile in the total IBD cohort was classified as normal in 49.5%, obese in 26.3%, myopenic in 23.2% and myopenic-obese in 1.1%. The use of biological therapy was identified as a negative predictor for both obesity (OR = 7.0, 95% CI: 1.3-37.9, P = .02) and myopenia (OR = 0.11, 95% CI:0.02-0.47, P = .003), and female gender was shown to predict myopenia (OR = 3.5, 95% CI: 1.0-11.8, P = .04). CONCLUSIONS Saudi Arabian children with IBD showed comparable body composition profiles to adult patients with IBD. Biological therapy was associated with a decreased incidence of both obesity and myopenia, and female gender was found to predict myopenia.

Abstract
PURPOSE The evidence for an association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and obesity is conflicting. Therefore, we set out to review the body mass index (BMI) at presentation of IBD to understand if the rise of the obesity rate in the general population, lead to an increase of obesity in patients with IBD at the time of diagnosis. METHODS Retrospective review of all patients with IBD seen at Children's Hospital and Medical Center from January 1st 2010 to December 31st 2014. From the initial visit and endoscopy, we obtained: age; sex; BMI; disease phenotype; disease severity. RESULTS We had a total of 95 patients, 35 patients were excluded due to incomplete data or referral being made after diagnosis was made. 28 were males and 32 were females, Age range was 2-17 years. A 37 had Crohn's disease, 19 ulcerative colitis, and 4 indeterminate colitis. Disease severity in 19 cases was mild, 29 moderate and 12 severe. BMI distribution was as follows-obese (5.0%), overweight (6.7%), normal weight (65.0%), mild malnutrition (8.3%), moderate malnutrition (15.0%), severe malnutrition (1.7%). CONCLUSION Our data is consistent with other series. Showing most children had a normal BMI, regardless of disease severity or phenotypes. One confounding factor is the possibility of delay in referral to GI. This could mean some obese children may fall in the normal BMI range at the time of diagnosis due to ongoing weight loss. Future studies should include prospective cohort studies, comparing incidence of IBD in obese and non-obese patients, severity at presentation, duration of symptoms, and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of pediatric inflammatory bowel diseases (PIBDs: Crohn's disease [CD], ulcerative colitis [UC]) is on the rise around the world. Yet, the critical risk factors for this rising incidence are not well understood. Demographic characteristics of PIBD may improve our understanding of their developmental origins and aid in prevention. METHODS Four hundred eighty-eight consecutive PIBD patients diagnosed at Texas Children's Hospital from 13 counties around Houston were studied. An annual incidence map was created by ZIP code of residence at diagnosis by using ArcGIS and the American Community Survey from the US Census Bureau. Correlation between demographic variables and PIBD incidence was examined. A model to explain incidence from different health factors was created in R. RESULTS Hispanic children were more likely to be diagnosed with UC (P < 0.01) and unclassified IBD (IBD-U) (P < 0.03) compared with other races/ethnicities. A significant positive correlation (r = 0.35, P < 0.0001) between median household income and PIBD incidence was observed (UC: r = 0.23, P < 0.0001; CD: r = 0.22, P = 0.0004). ZIP codes with majority college-educated adults had a higher incidence of PIBD than ZIP codes with majority high school-educated adults (P < 0.0001). Pediatric cases with CD were more common in ZIP codes where the majority of adults were college educated (P < 0.0001). Pediatric cases with UC, however, were more common in ZIP codes where the majority of adults were high school educated (P = 0.0036). CONCLUSIONS Hispanic children more commonly present with UC and IBD-U in southern USA. Household income and/or adult education-related environmental/dietary differences may be important in the developmental origins of PIBD in large metro areas, such as Houston.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This prospective observational study aimed to examine the prevalence of obesity in a population-based cohort of children and young adults newly diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and assess their outcome in comparison to newly diagnosed normal/underweight patients. METHODS Our longitudinal population-based cohort comprised all children younger than 17 years diagnosed with IBD in the province of Manitoba, Canada between 2012 and 2018. Cox regression model with adjustment for a priori covariates was used to examine the time to first relapse among patients who were obese/overweight at the time of IBD diagnosis in comparison to patients who were normal or underweight. RESULTS A total of 139 patients with IBD were followed up for a median duration of 1.09 (interquartile range: 0.53-2.62) years. Obesity was more common in children newly diagnosed with ulcerative colitis (UC) compared to those with Crohn disease (CD) (12.7% vs 0.0%; P = 0.005). Age at diagnosis poorly correlated with the body mass index z score (R = 0.23; P = 0.01). The proportions of patients who were underweight at the time of IBD diagnosis among patients with UC and CD were 6.3% and 20.0%, respectively (P = 0.01). The time to initial relapse was not found to be significantly associated with weight category at diagnosis in UC (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.77; 95% confidence interval: 0.40-1.63) or CD (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.83; 95% confidence interval: 0.20-3.51). CONCLUSION Obesity was more common in children and young adults newly diagnosed with UC. The majority of the underweight children had CD.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine postoperative length of stay (LOS), hospital readmission, and 30-day complications in pediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic ileocecal resection in a contemporary cohort. METHODS Retrospective review of the American College of Surgeons National Surgery Quality Improvement Project, Pediatric (NSQIP-P) 2012-2016 participant user files for patients <19 years old who underwent laparoscopic ileocecal resection. Mean postoperative LOS, hospital readmission and both wound-specific and composite complications were calculated and compared by year of operation. RESULTS 348 patients were identified (range, 46-96 per year); 55.2-69.8% of these were admitted the day of operation, with a nonsignificant increase in frequency over the study period. Postoperative LOS ranged from 5.4 ± 2.9 days to 7.3 ± 9.1 days (p = 0.24). In subset analysis of only those patients admitted on the day of operation, postoperative LOS remained relatively long, ranging from 5.0 ± 3.0 days to 5.7 ± 4.0 days (p = 0.89). 30-day hospital readmission proportions rose insignificantly, from 6.9% in 2012 to 15.5% in 2016 (p = 0.41). Wound complication rates (including superficial, deep, and deep organ space infections, as well as wound dehiscence) ranged from 0.0% to 8.6%, but did not vary in a statistically significant manner. Nonwound complication rates were vanishingly small. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative LOS in pediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic ileocecal resection in a select group of patients cared for in hospitals participating in NSQIP-P has not decreased in the past 5 years despite emerging evidence of the safety and relevance of enhanced recovery after surgery programs. Opportunities for shortening LOS without compromising patient safety may still exist. LEVEL-OF-EVIDENCE III Retrospective comparative study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been historically associated with underweight and malnutrition. The impact of both underweight and obesity on the clinical course of IBD in adults is controversial. This study described the association between body mass index (BMI) at diagnosis to disease course in children with IBD. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of children with IBD from the database of the 'Dana-Dwek' Children's Hospital between 2010 and 2016. Demographic and anthropometric data were collected as were disease characteristics, course and therapy. Patients were categorized in quartiles according to BMI percentiles at diagnosis (Q1-Q4). RESULTS Of 100 children who were identified, 62 had Crohn's disease (CD) and 38 had ulcerative colitis (UC). The median age (interquartile range, IQR) at diagnosis was 13.7 (range 11.9-15.2) years. The median (IQR) follow-up was 2.1 (1.2-3.8) years. At diagnosis, 46 children (46%) were in Q1, 20 (20%) in Q2, 19 (19%) in Q3 and 15 (15%) in Q4. Prolonged time to diagnosis was associated with BMI in Q1 and Q4, as well as high disease activity at diagnosis (p < .001). In a multivariate analysis, BMI in the lower and upper quartiles was associated with disease exacerbation (HR 3.212 and 4.651, respectively, p = .016) and anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy (HR 4.489 and 3.972, respectively, p = .021). CONCLUSIONS BMI in the lower and upper quartiles was associated with more severe disease course in children with IBD. BMI may serve as a simple and highly accessible predictor of pediatric IBD course and prognosis.

Santas F, Santas G. Prevalence of pre-school children for overweight/obesity in Turkey. World J Pediatr 2018; 14:77-83. [PMID: 29336003 DOI: 10.1007/s12519-017-0103-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2016] [Accepted: 11/04/2016] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Most of the studies and interventions are targeted to address undernutrition, but childhood obesity has become a silent killer among children. Developing countries, including Turkey, could recognize the importance of the issue now and have begun to discuss the necessity of studies on this subject. Therefore, this study aims to examine the prevalence of obesity among pre-school children in Turkey. METHODS The data source of this study is the Turkey Demographic and Health Survey (TDHS)-2013. The TDHS-2013 was a sample study to gather information about the fertility levels and changes in them, infant and child mortality, family planning, and maternal and infant health at the national level. RESULTS Overweight/obesity for height was 8.6% and 6.6% for age. Overweight/obesity problems are mostly observed in the West and are higher in urban areas. Overweight/obesity decreases with increasing age. There is a positive correlation between overweight/obesity and maternal educational level. As the household welfare level increases, overweight/obesity increases in pre-school children. Female children are at higher risk of overweight/obesity than males. As birth order increases, overweight/obesity decreases. Children living in other regions have overweight/obesity problems more than the pre-school children living in the East. CONCLUSIONS This study speculates that obesity appears to be a major problem among pre-school children in Turkey. Based on the findings, the current situation of overweight/obesity among pre-school children is so close to many developing and developed countries, whose obesity levels are a greater concern. This finding demonstrates that effective interventions of obesity should begin as early as infancy in Turkey, as it is a developing country.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The ESPEN guideline presents a multidisciplinary focus on clinical nutrition in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODOLOGY The guideline is based on extensive systematic review of the literature, but relies on expert opinion when objective data were lacking or inconclusive. The conclusions and 64 recommendations have been subject to full peer review and a Delphi process in which uniformly positive responses (agree or strongly agree) were required. RESULTS IBD is increasingly common and potential dietary factors in its aetiology are briefly reviewed. Malnutrition is highly prevalent in IBD - especially in Crohn's disease. Increased energy and protein requirements are observed in some patients. The management of malnutrition in IBD is considered within the general context of support for malnourished patients. Treatment of iron deficiency (parenterally if necessary) is strongly recommended. Routine provision of a special diet in IBD is not however supported. Parenteral nutrition is indicated only when enteral nutrition has failed or is impossible. The recommended perioperative management of patients with IBD undergoing surgery accords with general ESPEN guidance for patients having abdominal surgery. Probiotics may be helpful in UC but not Crohn's disease. Primary therapy using nutrition to treat IBD is not supported in ulcerative colitis, but is moderately well supported in Crohn's disease, especially in children where the adverse consequences of steroid therapy are proportionally greater. However, exclusion diets are generally not recommended and there is little evidence to support any particular formula feed when nutritional regimens are constructed. CONCLUSIONS Available objective data to guide nutritional support and primary nutritional therapy in IBD are presented as 64 recommendations, of which 9 are very strong recommendations (grade A), 22 are strong recommendations (grade B) and 12 are based only on sparse evidence (grade 0); 21 recommendations are good practice points (GPP).

Abstract
Crohn's disease, an incurable chronic inflammatory bowel disease, has been attributed to both genetic predisposition and environmental factors. A dysbiosis of the gut microbiota, observed in numerous patients but also in at least one hundred unaffected first-degree relatives, was proposed to have a causal role. Gut microbiota β-D-glucuronidases (EC 3.2.1.33) hydrolyse β-D-glucuronate from glucuronidated compounds. They include a GUS group, that is homologous to the Escherichia coli GusA, and a BG group, that is homologous to metagenomically identified H11G11 BG and has unidentified natural substrates. H11G11 BG is part of the functional core of the human gut microbiota whereas GusA, known to regenerate various toxic products, is variably found in human subjects. We investigated potential risk markers for Crohn's disease using DNA-sequence-based exploration of the β-D-glucuronidase loci (GUS or Firmicute H11G11-BG and the respective co-encoded glucuronide transporters). Crohn's disease-related microbiomes revealed a higher frequency of a C7D2 glucuronide transporter (12/13) compared to unrelated healthy subjects (8/32). This transporter was in synteny with the potential harmful GUS β-D-glucuronidase as only observed in a Eubacterium eligens plasmid. A conserved NH2-terminal sequence in the transporter (FGDFGND motif) was found in 83% of the disease-related subjects and only in 12% of controls. We propose a microbiota-pathology hypothesis in which the presence of this unique β-glucuronidase locus may contribute to an increase risk for Crohn's disease.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a systemic disease, and it not only affects the gastrointestinal tract, but also may show a variety of extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs). EIMs can involve multiple systems. This paper reviews the EIMs of IBD for a more comprehensive understanding of IBD to guide its clinical diagnosis and treatment.
