Foreign body ingestion in children: Definition of a nomogram to predict surgical or endoscopic intervention. Dig Liver Dis 2024; 56:312-321. [PMID: 37586909 DOI: 10.1016/j.dld.2023.07.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2023] [Revised: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 07/11/2023] [Indexed: 08/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Foreign body ingestion (FBI) in children requires early identification to prevent adverse outcomes and may necessitate endoscopic or surgical intervention. This study aims to develop a nomogram that identifies children who require urgent surgical or endoscopic intervention by using the patient's medical history and clinical parameters collected at admission. METHODS This study is a retrospective review (01/2015-12/2020) of a multicenter case series of children admitted for FBI. Data from 5864 records from 24 hospitals in Italy were analyzed. Logistic regression models were used to establish the probability of requiring surgical or endoscopic intervention based on patient history and clinical characteristics. The nomogram representing the results from the multivariable model was reported to examine the propensity for surgery/endoscopy. RESULTS The study identified a significant association between intervention and various factors, including type of foreign body (blunt: reference category, disk battery (odds ratio OR:4.89), food bolus (OR:1.88), magnets (OR:2.61), sharp-pointed (OR:1.65), unknown (OR:1.02)), pre-existing diseases or conditions (OR 3.42), drooling (OR 10.91), dysphagia (OR 5.58), vomiting (OR 3.30), retrosternal pain (OR 5.59), abdominal pain (OR 1.58), hematemesis (OR 2.82), food refusal/poor feeding (OR 2.99), and unexplained crying (OR 2.01). The multivariable regression model showed good calibration and discrimination ability, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.77. CONCLUSIONS This study developed the first nomogram to predict the probability of the need for surgical or endoscopic intervention in children with FBI, based on the information collected at admission. The nomogram will aid clinicians in identifying children who require early intervention to prevent adverse outcomes.

Scarallo L, Russo G, Renzo S, Lionetti P, Oliva S. A journey towards pediatric gastrointestinal endoscopy and its training: a narrative review. Front Pediatr 2023; 11:1201593.

Abstract
Background and aims Gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy in pediatric setting has unique features and, therefore, requires an approach that is tailored to pediatric practice. There is still heterogeneity between training programs worldwide in terms of duration, number of procedures and assessment during and at the end of the training process. Methods We conducted a narrative review aiming to describe and summarize the existing literature on the various training methods for pediatric GI endoscopy to highlight the significance of specific pediatric endoscopy training. Results Simulation-based tools have been implemented in several training programs, providing a safer learning environment for trainees, especially in their earlier stages of training. Assessment of competence is gradually shifting from the sole evaluation of procedural numbers towards the development of more reliable and valid tools that can accurately measure technical competence. Despite such seismic shift, there is still a need for a standardized and comprehensive pediatric-oriented endoscopy curriculum that incorporates acquisition of procedural skills education and is built on the current competency-based model of training. All the above must sink their roots in trainees and to ensure that the endoscopists of tomorrow are capable of delivering high quality of care for children undergoing endoscopy. Conclusion It is crucial to parallelly focus on the way trainers teach trainees. In this context, the implementation of "train the trainers" courses has improved important quality meters in GI endoscopy. Future research should put the focus on the potential subsequent favorable benefits of these changes on child health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES AND STUDY There is a large interobserver variability in evaluating mucosal lesions of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), especially in pediatric patients. This multicenter prospective observational study aims to evaluate interobserver agreement (IOA) among pediatric endoscopists in assigning validated IBD endoscopic scores in children. METHODS Fifteen videos of follow-up ileocolonoscopies in children with IBD were recorded and selected as cases. Eleven pediatric endoscopists from different centers blindly evaluated all videos and calculated scores: either Ulcerative Colitis Endoscopic Index of Severity (UCEIS) or Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn Disease (SES-CD). Scores from all reviewers were compared in order to calculate IOA for general videos and specific sections. Scores from an expert adult reader were used to calculate possible reviewer's characteristics affecting scores' reliability. RESULTS Intraclass correlation was 0.298 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.13-0.55) for ulcerative colitis (UC) and 0.266 (0.11-0.52) for Crohn disease (CD). When a disease activity categorization was adopted (remission, mild, moderate, severe activity) Fleiss kappa coefficient was 0.408 (0.29-0.53) for UC and 0.552 (0.43-0.73) for CD. When stratified by item, vascular pattern of UC was the most reliable item IC: 0.624 (0.321-0.854). In multivariable analysis, none of the reviewer's characteristics affected the readers' errors. CONCLUSIONS This multicenter study shows low agreement among pediatric endoscopists in evaluating endoscopic scores in children with IBD. By using disease activity categorization, agreement slightly increased, mostly for CD. All readers showed a low-grade concordance with the expert adult gastroenterologist's evaluations. Future-specific training programs should be considered to increase IOA in using IBD endoscopic activity scores.

Gastrointestinal endoscopy in children and adults: How do they differ? Dig Liver Dis 2021; 53:697-705.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal endoscopy has grown dramatically over the past century, and with subsequent improvements in technology and anaesthesia, it has become a safe and useful tool for evaluation of GI pathology in children. There are substantial differences between paediatric and adult endoscopy beyond size, including: age-related patho-physiology and the different spectrum of diseases in children. Literature on endoscopic procedures in children is sparse but significant. The present review aims at describing the current knowledges on paediatric endoscopy practice and highlights the main areas of differences between paediatric and adult practice.

Foreign body and caustic ingestions in children: A clinical practice guideline. Dig Liver Dis 2020; 52:1266-1281. [PMID: 32782094 DOI: 10.1016/j.dld.2020.07.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2020] [Revised: 07/13/2020] [Accepted: 07/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Foreign body and caustic ingestions in children are usually the most common clinical challenges for emergency physicians, general pediatricians and pediatric gastroenterologists. Management of these conditions often requires different levels of expertise and competence. Endoscopy is often necessary but there is a high risk of misusing this tool with incorrect timing and indications. The imprecise clinical history frequently leaves clinicians uncertain about timing and nature of the ingestion. Few clinical guidelines regarding management of these ingestions in children have been published, none of which from the Italian Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (SIGENP). An expert panel of Italian endoscopists was convened by the SIGENP Endoscopy Working Group to produce the present article that outlines practical clinical approaches to the pediatric patient with a variety of foreign body and caustic ingestions. The Italian Association of Hospital Gastroenterologists and Endoscopists (AIGO) has also endorsed the project since many adult endoscopists usually manage children with these conditions. Differently from the other published guidelines, the proposed one focuses on the role of the endoscopists (regardless of whether they are adult or pediatric gastroenterologists) in the diagnostic process of children with foreign body and caustic ingestions.
