Diagnosis and management of food allergy-associated gastroesophageal reflux disease in young children-EAACI position paper. Pediatr Allergy Immunol 2022; 33:e13856. [PMID: 36282131 DOI: 10.1111/pai.13856] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2022] [Revised: 08/26/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) and food allergy (FA) are common conditions, especially during the first 12 months of life. When GOR leads to troublesome symptoms, that affect the daily functioning of the infant and family, it is referred to as GOR disease (GORD). The role of food allergens as a cause of GORD remains controversial. This European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) position paper aims to review the evidence for FA-associated GORD in young children and translate this into clinical practice that guides healthcare professionals through the diagnosis of suspected FA-associated GORD and medical and dietary management. The task force (TF) on non-IgE mediated allergy consists of EAACI experts in paediatric gastroenterology, allergy, dietetics and psychology from Europe, United Kingdom, United States, Turkey and Brazil. Six clinical questions were formulated, amended and approved by the TF to guide this publication. A systematic literature search using PubMed, Cochrane and EMBASE databases (until June 2021) using predefined inclusion criteria based on the 6 questions was used. The TF also gained access to the database from the European Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology and Hepatology working group, who published guidelines on GORD and ensured that all publications used within that position paper were included. For each of the 6 questions, practice points were formulated, followed by a modified Delphi method consisting of anonymous web-based voting that was repeated with modified practice points where required, until at least 80% consensus for each practice point was achieved. This TF position paper shares the process, the discussion and consensus on all practice points on FA-associated GORD.

Abstract
Non-immunoglobulin E-mediated gastrointestinal food allergic disorders (non-IgE-GI-FA) include food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES), food protein-induced enteropathy (FPE) and food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP), which present with symptoms of variable severity, affecting the gastrointestinal tract in response to specific dietary antigens. The diagnosis of non-IgE-GI-FA is made clinically, and relies on a constellation of typical symptoms that improve upon removal of the culprit food. When possible, food reintroduction should be attempted, with the documentation of symptoms relapse to establish a conclusive diagnosis. Management includes dietary avoidance, nutritional counselling, and supportive measures in the case of accidental exposure. The prognosis is generally favorable, with the majority of cases resolved before school age. Serial follow-up to establish whether the acquisition of tolerance has occurred is therefore essential in order to avoid unnecessary food restriction and potential consequent nutritional deficiencies. The purpose of this review is to delineate the distinctive clinical features of non-IgE-mediated food allergies presenting with gastrointestinal symptomatology, to summarize our current understanding of the pathogenesis driving these diseases, to discuss recent findings, and to address currents gaps in the knowledge, to guide future management opportunities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acid suppression with histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) is recommended for children with persistent gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms. In this retrospective, observational postauthorization study, we aimed to assess and compare safety outcomes in pediatric first-time users of esomeprazole, other PPIs or H2RAs. METHODS Data on children (aged 0-18 years) first dispensed esomeprazole, other PPIs or H2RAs between September 2008 and August 2011 was obtained from the Dutch PHARMO Database Network. Hospitalizations for seven predefined safety outcomes were evaluated (maximum follow-up: 18 months). Rate ratios were calculated using Poisson regression adjusted for baseline imbalances. Discharge letters were reviewed for event occurrence confirmation. RESULTS Of 23,470 included children, 2820 (median age: 3 years) were prescribed esomeprazole, 13,818 (median age: 15 years) other PPIs and 6832 (median age: 5 years) H2RAs. In total, 504 (2%) children were hospitalized for 762 predefined events: gastroenteritis (246); convulsion/seizure (200); pneumonia (154); failure to thrive (119); acute interstitial nephritis (19); thrombocytopenia (23); and angioneurotic edema (1). Significant differences between cohorts were observed only for failure to thrive, with adjusted rate ratios (95% confidence interval) for esomeprazole of 6.1 (2.4-15.7) vs. other PPIs and 6.1 (2.9-12.8) vs. H2RAs among current users. Occurrence was confirmed for 74% of assessable events. Confirmation rates were highest for pneumonia (81%) and lowest for failure to thrive (40%). CONCLUSIONS Hospitalization rates for predefined outcomes were low and mostly similar in pediatric first-time users of PPIs and of H2RAs. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT01338363.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use is becoming increasingly common. Although the toxicity profiles of PPIs are not well understood particularly in children, PPIs have been associated with increased risks of gastrointestinal and respiratory tract infection, vitamin B12 deficiency, hypomagnesaemia, bone fractures, and rebound hyperacidity after discontinuation. Prescribers should take into account that PPI uses pose toxicity risks, which remain to be fully characterised in infants and children.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the characteristics of pediatric patients prescribed proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) vs those of pediatric patients prescribed histamine-2-receptor antagonists (H2RAs). METHODS Observational studies were conducted using The Health Improvement Network (THIN) and the PHARMO Database Network. Patients aged 0-18 years who were first prescribed a PPI or H2RA between October 1, 2009 and September 30, 2012 (THIN) or between September 1, 2008 and August 31, 2011 (PHARMO) were included. Patient characteristics were identified and compared between the PPI and H2RA cohorts using odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) adjusted for age and sex. RESULTS The mean age (years) was higher in the PPI than in the H2RA cohorts (THIN 12.3 [n = 8204] vs 5.4 [n = 7937], PHARMO 11.0 [n = 15 362] vs 7.1 [n = 6168]). Previous respiratory disease was more common in the PPI than in the H2RA cohort in THIN (OR = 1.19, 95% CI = 1.08-1.30), as were asthma and respiratory medication use in PHARMO (OR = 1.27, 95% CI = 1.12-1.45 and OR = 1.23, 95% CI = 1.10-1.38, respectively) and oral corticosteroid use in both databases (OR = 1.45, 95% CI = 1.10-1.92 [THIN]; OR = 2.80, 95% CI = 2.11-3.71 [PHARMO]). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, and oral contraceptives were also more common in PPI than in H2RA cohorts in both databases. CONCLUSIONS Pediatric patients receiving PPIs and those receiving H2RAs may represent different patient populations. PPIs may be more commonly prescribed than H2RAs among patients with respiratory diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the use of acid-suppressing treatments and related safety events in children. OBJECTIVE This study compared patient characteristics and safety outcomes among children prescribed acid-suppressing drugs for the first time. METHODS The Health Improvement Network was used to determine the characteristics of children prescribed a proton pump inhibitor (PPI; esomeprazole or another PPI) or a histamine-2 receptor antagonist (H2RA) by UK primary care physicians between October 2009 and September 2012. Pre-defined safety outcomes were compared among the treatment groups in up to 18 months of follow-up. RESULTS The cohorts comprised 8,172 patients on PPIs (including 24 patients on esomeprazole) and 7,905 on H2RAs. The baseline characteristics were similar between cohorts, although the children in the PPI cohorts tended to be older. No safety outcomes occurred in the esomeprazole cohort. In the other-PPIs cohort, 92 safety outcomes occurred, most commonly gastroenteritis (n = 36; 39.1%). In the H2RAs cohort, 193 safety outcomes occurred, most commonly gastroenteritis (n = 62; 32.1%). The incidence of most safety outcomes was higher in the H2RAs cohort than in the other-PPIs cohort, including failure to thrive (3.11 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.25-4.28] vs 0.49 per 1,000 person-years [95% CI = 0.22-1.07]) and gastroenteritis (5.27 [95% CI = 4.11-6.75] vs 3.04 per 1,000 person-years [95% CI = 2.20-4.20]). CONCLUSION Esomeprazole is rarely prescribed to children when they first require acid-suppressing medication, compared with other PPIs/H2RAs. Overall, more safety outcomes occurred in the H2RAs cohort than in the PPI cohorts.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY Present the outcomes of patients younger than 2years who underwent laparoscopic fundoplication, highlighting the failure rate and need for redo fundoplication. METHODS Retrospective review of patients <2years who underwent laparoscopic fundoplication between January 2009 and December 2014. MAIN RESULTS 458 infants younger than 2years underwent laparoscopic fundoplication in the 6-year period (360 Nissen, 77 Toupet and 21 Thal fundoplications). Median age at surgery was 5 (1-23) months. Median follow-up was 3 (1-6) years. The conversion rate was 0.87% (4 of 458 cases). Patients did not undergo routine studies to assess the incidence of postoperative GER but were instead followed clinically. Failure of the fundoplication was determined when a patient was unable to gain weight and/or protect the airway while receiving gastric feedings because of GER. The failure rate in our experience was 2.6% (12 redo out of 458 cases [11/360 Nissen, 1/77 Toupet and 0/21 Thal]). All failed cases occurred because of migration of the fundoplication, confirmed preoperatively by a contrast study. Median time between the initial fundoplication and the redo was 13 (5-27) months. There were no failures within a contemporaneous group of 101 patients <2years who underwent open fundoplication. CONCLUSION The need for a redo fundoplication after a laparoscopic fundoplication was an uncommon event in our experience (12 of 458 cases). Our results contrast with published studies that report higher failure rates. Case volume per surgeon may explain in part the dissimilar results among studies. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
Non-IgE-mediated gastrointestinal food allergic disorders (non-IgE-GI-FA) including food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES), food protein-induced enteropathy (FPE), and food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP) are relatively uncommon in infants and young children, but are likely under-diagnosed. Non-IgE-GI-FA have a favorable prognosis, with majority resolving by age 3-5 years. Diagnosis relies on the recognition of symptoms pattern in FPIAP and FPIES and biopsy in FPE. Further studies are needed for a better understanding of the pathomechanism, which will lead eventually to the development of diagnostic tests and treatments. Limited evidence supports the role of food allergens in subsets of constipation, gastroesophageal reflux disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and colic. The immunologic pathomechanism is not fully understood and empiric prolonged avoidance of food allergens should be limited to minimize nutrient deficiency and feeding disorders/food aversions in infants.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) and FGID-related signs and symptoms have a fundamental impact on the psychosocial, physical and mental well-being of infants and their parents alike. Recent reviews and studies have indicated that FGIDs and related signs and symptoms may also have a substantial impact on the budgets of third-party payers and/or parents. The objective of this systematic review is to investigate these costs. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The population of interest is healthy term infants (under 12 months of age) with colic, regurgitation and/or functional constipation. Outcomes of interest will include the frequency and volume of reported treatments, the cost to third-party payers and/or parents for prescribed or over the counter treatments, visits to health professionals and changes in infant formula purchases, and the loss of income through time taken off work and out of pocket costs. Relevant studies will be identified by searching databases from 2005 onwards (including MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, NEXIS, DARE, Health Technology Assessment database, National Health Service Economic Evaluation Database and others), conferences from the previous 3 years and scanning reference lists of eligible studies. Study selection, data extraction and quality assessment will be conducted by two independent reviewers and disagreements resolved in discussion with a third reviewer. Quality assessment will involve study design-specific checklists. Relevant studies will be summarised narratively and presented in tables. An overview of treatments and costs will be provided, with any geographical or other differences highlighted. An assessment of how the totals for cost differ across countries and elements that contribute to the differences will be generated. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This is a systematic review of published studies that will be submitted for publication to a peer-reviewed journal. Ethical committee approval is not required.

Abstract
Regurgitation, constipation, excessive crying/fussiness, infantile colic and gassiness are frequent GI manifestations in young infants and result in numerous visits to paediatricians and in many cases in unnecessary change of formulas. The aim of this study was to offer paediatricians consensus based and simple algorithms for the management of the most frequent GI symptoms in infants. Paediatric gastroenterologists processed practical algorithms to assist general practitioners and general paediatricians. Four such practice recommendations were developed, based on the in 2013 published algorithms after an updated literature review. These algorithms cannot be considered as an 'evidence based guideline'. To date, these algorithms are the result of a consensus based on the available literature and the algorithms published in 2013.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Prokinetic medications are used in premature infants to promote motility and decrease time to full enteral feeding. Erythromycin and metoclopramide are the most commonly used prokinetic medications in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), but their safety profile is not well defined. METHODS We conducted a large retrospective cohort study using data from 348 NICUs managed by the Pediatrix Medical Group. All of the infants exposed to ≥1 dose of erythromycin, metoclopramide, or both, from a cohort of 8,87,910 infants discharged between 1997 and 2012 were included. We collected laboratory and clinical information while infants were exposed to erythromycin or metoclopramide and described the frequency of laboratory abnormalities and clinical adverse events (AEs). RESULTS Metoclopramide use increased from 1997 to 2005 and decreased from 2005 to 2012, whereas erythromycin use remained stable. Erythromycin use was most often associated with a diagnosis of feeding problem (40%), whereas metoclopramide was most often associated with a diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux (59%). The most common laboratory AE during exposure to erythromycin or metoclopramide was hyperkalemia (8.6/1000 infant days on erythromycin and 11.0/1000 infant days on metoclopramide). Incidence of pyloric stenosis was greater with erythromycin than with metoclopramide (10/1095, 0.9% vs 76/19,001, 0.4%; P = 0.01), but odds were not significantly increased after adjusting for covariates (odds ratio 0.52, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.26-1.02, P = 0.06). More infants experienced an AE while treated with metoclopramide than with erythromycin (odds ratio 1.21, 95% CI 1.03-1.43). CONCLUSIONS Metoclopramide was associated with increased risk of AEs compared with erythromycin. Studies are needed to confirm safety and effectiveness of both the drugs in infants.

Abstract
Non-IgE-mediated gastrointestinal food-induced allergic disorders (non-IgE-GI-FAs) account for an unknown proportion of food allergies and include food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES), food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP), and food protein-induced enteropathy (FPE). Non-IgE-GI-FAs are separate clinical entities but have many overlapping clinical and histologic features among themselves and with eosinophilic gastroenteropathies. Over the past decade, FPIES has emerged as the most actively studied non-IgE-GI-FA, potentially because of acute and distinct clinical features. FPIAP remains among the common causes of rectal bleeding in infants, while classic infantile FPE is rarely diagnosed. The overall most common allergens are cow's milk and soy; in patients with FPIES, rice and oat are also common. The most prominent clinical features of FPIES are repetitive emesis, pallor, and lethargy; chronic FPIES can lead to failure to thrive. FPIAP manifests with bloody stools in well-appearing young breast-fed or formula-fed infants. Features of FPE are nonbloody diarrhea, malabsorption, protein-losing enteropathy, hypoalbuminemia, and failure to thrive. Non-IgE-GI-FAs have a favorable prognosis; the majority resolve by 1 year in patients with FPIAP, 1 to 3 years in patients with FPE, and 1 to 5 years in patients with FPIES, with significant differences regarding specific foods. There is an urgent need to better define the natural history of FPIES and the pathophysiology of non-IgE-GI-FAs to develop biomarkers and novel therapies.

Abstract
Deglutition, or swallowing, refers to the process of propulsion of a food bolus from the mouth into the stomach and involves the highly coordinated interplay of swallowing and breathing. At 34 weeks gestational age most neonates are capable of successful oral feeding if born at this time; however, the maturation of respiration is still in progress at this stage. Infants can experience congenital and developmental pharyngeal and/or gastrointestinal motility disorders, which might manifest clinically as gastro-oesophageal reflux (GER) symptoms, feeding difficulties and/or refusal, choking episodes and airway changes secondary to micro or overt aspiration. These problems might lead to impaired nutritional intake and failure to thrive. These gastrointestinal motility disorders are mostly classified according to the phase of swallowing in which they occur, that is, the oral preparatory, oral, pharyngeal and oesophageal phases. GER is a common phenomenon in infancy and is referred to as GERD when it causes troublesome complications. GER is predominantly caused by transient relaxation of the lower oesophageal sphincter. In oesophageal atresia, oesophageal motility disorders develop in almost all patients after surgery; however, a congenital origin of disordered motility has also been proposed. This Review highlights the prenatal development of upper gastrointestinal motility and describes the most common motility disorders that occur in early infancy.
