Gastroenterol Rep (Oxf) 2023; 12:goad072. [PMID: 38143506 PMCID: PMC10746840 DOI: 10.1093/gastro/goad072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) therapy effectively induces remission in pediatric Crohn's disease (CD). However, this may depend on the type of enteral formula used. Moreover, data on the efficacy of amino acid-based EEN are limited. Thus, we aimed to prospectively evaluate the efficacy of amino acid-based formulas for EEN in pediatric patients with active CD. Methods Patients with active CD aged between 6 and 17 years were recruited into this prospective study from four hospitals in China between March 2019 and December 2021. Patients received EEN for 8 weeks. Inflammatory and nutrition-associated indices were evaluated at 0, 4, and 8 weeks after treatment. Paired t-tests and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to compare continuous and categorical variables before and after intervention, respectively. Results Twenty-four patients were included in the analysis. After an 8-week intervention period, the CD activity index significantly decreased (26.3 ± 12.2 vs 7.1 ± 8.3, P < 0.001). Most patients (66.7%) achieved complete clinical remission. Among the 22 patients who had ulcers and erosions diagnosed endoscopically at baseline, 10 (45.5%) achieved complete mucosal healing. The degree of thickening of the intestinal wall was significantly reduced after EEN intervention, with a transmural healing rate of 42.9%. Furthermore, the serum inflammatory markers decreased and there was a significant improvement in the nutrition-related indices (P < 0.05). There were no severe adverse effects. Conclusions Amino acid-based EEN is effective and safe for treating pediatric-onset CD. Studies with larger sample sizes and mechanistic and follow-up studies are required to further validate these findings.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
IBD is a multifactorial disease. Although dysbiosis of commensal bacteria and breakdown of the intestinal barrier are considered as major pathological mechanisms in the development of IBD, other important factors such as genetic aberrations also contribute to its development.
Results
Our results revealed that serum miR-34a RQ values were significantly lower and serum MACF1 RQ values were significantly higher in IBD patients compared to healthy controls. In addition, serum miR-34a in relation to pathological activity and disease severity in the IBD group revealed a significant difference (p>0.05).
Conclusion
Serum miR-34a RQ and serum MACF1 RQ value-based biomarker panels can act as a potential biomarker for IBD diagnosis and prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Food-related quality of life (FRQoL) encompasses the psychosocial elements of eating and drinking. The FRQoL of children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease has not yet been assessed. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of the validated FR-Qol-29 instrument in children with Crohn's disease (CD). METHODS Children diagnosed with CD, a shared home environment healthy sibling, and healthy control subjects 6 to 17 years of age were recruited to this single-center, prospective, cross-sectional study. Children or their parent or guardian completed the FR-QoL-29 instrument. Internal consistency was assessed by completing Cronbach's α. Construct validity was established by correlating the CD FR-QoL-29 sum scores with the Physician Global Assessment and Pediatric Crohn Disease Activity Index scores. The discriminant validity was analyzed using a 1-way analysis of variance, and a Spearman's correlation coefficient test was completed to identify any correlations associated with FRQoL. RESULTS Sixty children or their parent or guardian completed the FR-QoL-29 instrument (10 children in each subgroup). The internal consistency was excellent (Cronbach's α = 0.938). The mean FR-QoL-29 sum scores were 94.3 ± 27.6 for CD, 107.6 ± 20 for siblings, and 113.7 ± 13.8 for control subjects (P = .005). Those with higher disease activity had worse FRQoL (Physician Global Assessment P = .021 and Pediatric Crohn Disease Activity Index P = .004). Inflammatory bowel disease FR-QoL-29 sum scores correlated with weight (P = .027), height (P = .035), body mass index (P = .023), and age (P = .015). CONCLUSIONS FRQoL is impaired in children with CD. Healthy siblings also have poorer FRQoL than control subjects. Several clinical factors are associated with poorer FRQoL in children with CD including age and level of nutritional risk (weight, height, and body mass index). Further research is required validate these findings and to develop strategies for the prevention or treatment of impaired FRQoL in children with CD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (p-IBD) is a chronic relapsing gastrointestinal disorder of childhood with long-term morbidity. Several extraintestinal manifestations are described, the most common being joint pain and/or inflammation. However, patient and disease characteristics, treatments, and outcomes of p-IBD-associated musculoskeletal disease are not well established. Our study aims to summarize the recent literature on the epidemiology of musculoskeletal manifestations in p-IBD in the era of biologics. METHODS A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science Core Collection, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature databases was performed with relevant keywords. Studies in English published from January 1, 2000, to December 21, 2020, were included. In total, 3893 articles were identified and screened. Study and population characteristics and outcomes of interest were recorded. Risk of bias assessment was performed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tools. RESULTS Thirteen studies were included for full review, which were primarily single-center observational studies with retrospective or cross-sectional designs. The diagnostic criteria and definitions used for musculoskeletal manifestations varied. Musculoskeletal manifestation prevalence ranged from 2% to 35%. Only one study assessed the response of musculoskeletal manifestations to biologics. Risk of bias demonstrated heterogeneity in study quality. CONCLUSION This is the first systematic review of musculoskeletal manifestations in p-IBD. Analysis was limited because of variability in study design and data-reporting methods. Definitions varied among included studies, with a clear lack in standardization. Our study demonstrates the need for standardized assessment of musculoskeletal manifestations of p-IBD and further research to explore optimal management to advance care for this group of children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are remitting and relapsing diseases that mainly interest the gastrointestinal tract. IBD is associated with a condition of psycho-social discomfort that deeply compromises the quality of life and the competence of patient to be fully engaged in their self-management. As a consequence, effective care of IBD patients should include not only medical but also psychological support in order to improve patients' wellbeing. Although this, to date there is no standardized approach to promote psychological wellbeing of IBD patients in order to improve the perception of the quality of the care. To fill this gap, a consensus conference has been organized in order to define the psychosocial needs of IBD patients and to promote their engagement in daily clinical practice. This paper describes the process implemented and illustrates the recommendations deriving from it, which focus on the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in IBD management. RESULTS The consensus conference has been organized in three phases: (1) literature review about life experiences, engagement, and psychosocial needs of IBD patients; (2) workshops with IBD experts and patients' representatives; (3) drafting of statements and voting. Seventy-three participants were involved in the consensus conference, and sixteen statements have been voted and approved during the consensus process. CONCLUSIONS The main conclusion is the necessity of the early detection of - and, in case of need, intervention on- psycho-social needs of patients in order to achieve patient involvement in IBD care.

Abstract
The increase in incidences of pediatric Crohn's Disease (CD) worldwide has been strongly linked with dietary shifts towards a Westernized diet, ultimately leading to altered gut microbiota and disturbance in intestinal immunity and the metabolome. Multiple clinical studies in children with CD have demonstrated the high efficacy of nutritional therapy with exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) to induce remission with an excellent safety profile. However, EEN is poorly tolerated, limiting its compliance and clinical application. This has spiked an interest in the development of alternative and better-tolerated nutritional therapy strategies. Several nutritional therapies have now been designed not only to treat the nutritional deficiencies seen in children with active CD but also to correct dysbiosis and reduce intestinal inflammation. In this review, we report the most recent insights regarding nutritional strategies in children with active CD: EEN, partial enteral nutrition (PEN), Crohn's disease exclusive diet (CDED), and CD treatment-with-eating diet (CD-TREAT). We describe their setup, efficacy, safety, and (dis)advantages as well as some of their potential mechanisms of action and perspectives. A better understanding of different nutritional therapeutic options and their mechanisms will yield better and safer management strategies for children with CD and may address the barriers and limitations of current strategies in children.

Abstract
Purpose: To assess the landscape of management of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients in Greece and investigate possible prognostic factors for the disease outcome. Method: The medical records of all IBD patients who visited the gastroenterology divisions of two university pediatric clinics as in- or outpatients over 13 years were examined. Results: Twenty-seven females and 25 males were included in the study. Ulcerative colitis (UC) was diagnosed in 46% of cases, Crohn's Disease (CD) in 33% and unclassified IBD (IBD-U) remained the diagnosis in 21%. The CRP level was elevated in 68% of cases at diagnosis, whereas only 27.4% of patients had ESR levels and platelet counts within the age-adjusted normal range. No parameter derived from patient history, physical examination or laboratory and imaging was found to influence the time to diagnosis. Abdominal pain and lack of diarrhea at the time of diagnosis were significantly associated with the need for biologic therapy during the disease course in CD. Consistent with the "step-up" approach the treating physicians practiced, an increased number of relapses correlated with the addition of biologics in the treatment of both CD and UC patients (P=.03 and P=.002, respectively). Conclusion: It is the first time that clinical data regarding IBD pediatric patients in Greece were reviewed. Some clinical and imaging factors were associated with more aggressive disease, an increased need for biological treatment and frequent hospitalizations for IBD flares. Moreover, it was observed that the clinical features of IBD in Greek children were similar to those in other countries.

Abstract
The goals for treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are changing from elimination of symptoms toward complete disease control-a process that demands both clinical and endoscopic remission. This new IBD treatment paradigm has been shifting from a conventional "step-up" approach toward a more "top-down" early intervention treatment strategy. Recent studies suggest that the use of biologic agents, specifically those targeting tumor necrosis factor alpha, earlier in the treatment course improves patient outcomes and can prevent progression to irreversible bowel damage. Although the strategy of early intervention has accumulating evidence in Crohn's disease, there is less evidence supporting its impact in ulcerative colitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transition from paediatric to adult services can be stressful and potentially disruptive for adolescents diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This study aimed to ascertain transition-related factors relevant to young people in New Zealand. METHODS Adolescents diagnosed with IBD prior to their 16th birthday were asked to participate in focus groups to generate transition-related themes. These themes were used to develop a questionnaire, which was then administered to a second group of young patients. RESULTS Initial focus groups discussions generated several key themes: these included concerns about meeting new people in unfamiliar surroundings, the importance of shared clinics and assessments for transition readiness. The subsequent transition questionnaire was completed by 53 young people (28 female and 48 with Crohn's disease). The most commonly reported difficulty by those entering transition was meeting a new doctor. This and building a new relationship/trust were the main concerns of respondents who were preparing for or within a transition process. Parental assessment of illness and readiness to transition were not thought to be as important as other factors for determining readiness for transition. The character of their new adult gastroenterologist was the factor felt most likely to make transition easy. CONCLUSIONS The main concerns of these young patients with IBD, at various stages of transition, were about meeting a new team and building new relationships. Planning and conducting a structured transition process should consider these factors to optimise the process.

Abstract
The role and efficacy of exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) in the treatment of luminal Crohn’s disease (CD) has been well established over the last 2 decades. Consequently, in many centers nutritional therapy is now considered first line therapy in the induction of remission of active CD. However, the use of nutritional therapy in complicated CD has yet to be fully determined. This article aimed to review case reports and clinical trials published in the last decade that have considered and evaluated nutritional therapy in the setting of complicated CD in children and adults. Published literature focusing upon the use of nutritional therapy as part of medical therapy in the management of complicated CD were identified and reviewed. Although there continue to be various interventions utilized for complicated CD, the currently available literature demonstrates that nutritional therapies, especially EEN, have important roles in the management of these complex scenarios. Further assessments, involving large numbers of patients managed with consistent approaches, are required to further substantiate these roles.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The main objective of this manuscript is to discuss our present knowledge of the relationships between dysbiosis and paediatric Crohn's disease (CD). The therapeutic role of the methods currently used to re-establish normal gut microbiota composition is also analysed. METHODS PubMed was used to search for all of the studies published from January 2008 to June 2018 using the key words: "Crohn's disease" and "gut dysbiosis" or "microbiota" or "microbioma" or "probiotic" and "children" or "paediatric". More than 100 articles were found, but only those published in English or providing evidence-based data were included in the evaluation. RESULTS Gut microbiota are primary actors in CD's pathogenesis. The new techniques developed in metagenomics allow us to reveal new details of microbiota composition in healthy subjects and CD patients, and to elucidate the link between microbiota and numerous pathologies, such as obesity, allergies and type 1 diabetes mellitus. CONCLUSION Discoveries on the role of gut microbiota could potentially disclose new therapeutic options for CD treatment and improve the existing therapies. Further studies are needed to facilitate the diagnosis and tailor the therapy of a pathology that is an increasing burden on public health.

Abstract
It is increasingly clear that the intestinal microbiota plays key roles in the pathogenesis of the conditions known as Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis (jointly known as the inflammatory bowel diseases). Perturbations of the microbiota, termed dysbiosis, are present at diagnosis and likely reflect earlier environmental influences along with interactions with intestinal immune responses. Over the last two decades, there has been increasing interest in the use of a nutritional therapy to induce remission of active Crohn disease. Amongst a number of recent studies focusing on the putative mechanisms of action of enteral nutrition in Crohn disease, there have been several reports illustrating profound interactions between this nutritional therapy and the intestinal microbiota. Although at present it is still not clear how these changes relate to concurrent improvements in inflammation, it has become an area of increasing interest. This review article focuses on the impacts of nutritional therapy in individuals with active Crohn disease and overviews the most recent data arising from international studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prior studies evaluating the relationship between tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors (TNFI) and infection were conducted in adults and had conflicting findings. We sought to examine the risk of serious infection associated with TNFIs compared with nonbiologic immunomodulators in children and young adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and to compare the risk among individual TNFIs. METHODS We conducted a cohort study using the Truven MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters database of patients age <30 years with a diagnosis of IBD who initiated treatment with a TNFI or immunomodulator (thiopurines or methotrexate) between 2009 and 2013. The outcome of interest was serious infection, defined as a nongastrointestinal bacterial infection requiring hospitalization. Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for serious infection associated with TNFIs compared with immunomodulators. RESULTS We identified 10,838 children and young adults with IBD; 236 and 192 cases of serious infection were observed in 4502 TNFI initiators (5.25/100 person-years) and 6336 immunomodulator initiators (3.59/100 person-years), respectively. Compared with immunomodulators, TNFIs were associated with a higher risk of serious infection (HR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.08-1.72). Among TNFI users, certolizumab showed a 3.38-fold (95% CI, 2.25-5.09) increased risk vs infliximab, and subcutaneously administered TNFIs also exhibited a higher risk (HR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.18-1.53) than intravenous TNFIs. CONCLUSIONS TNFIs pose a higher risk of serious infection compared with immunomodulators in children and young adults with IBD, and this risk differs among individual TNFIs and routes of administration.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis is a rather common inflammatory bowel disease, especially in the industrialised world. A limited number of studies have reported the prevalence of oral signs and symptoms in these patients, and widely varying prevalence rates have been reported ranging from 2 to 34%. Pyostomatitis vegetans is the most pathognomonic oral sign but also other abnormalities as oral ulcerations, caries and periodontitis are more often seen in patients with ulcerative colitis. In this review we describe the oral manifestations of ulcerative colitis and their potential dental implications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) report impairments in daily activities, social interactions and coping. Findings regarding psychological functioning are inconsistent, while limited information is available on objectively assessed physical activity (PA). The aims of the present study were therefore to compare anthropometric dimensions, blood values, psychological functioning and PA of children and adolescents with IBD with healthy controls. METHODS Forty-seven children and adolescents took part in the study. Of these, 23 were diagnosed with IBD (mean age: 13.88 years, 44% females). The IBD group was divided into a medically well adjusted "remission-group" (n = 14; IBD-RE) and a group with an "active state" of disease (n = 8; IBD-AD). Healthy controls (n = 24; HC) were age- and gender-matched. Participants' anthropometric data, blood values and objective PA were assessed. Further, participants completed questionnaires covering socio-demographic data and psychological functioning. RESULTS Participants with IBD-AD showed higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) values, haemoglobin, and leukocyte values. IBD-AD had poorer psychological functioning and lower PA (average steps per day) compared to IBD-RE and HC. No mean differences were found between IBD-RE and HC. CONCLUSIONS The pattern of results suggests that effective medical treatment of IBD in children and adolescents is associated with favorable physiological parameters, psychological dimensions and PA. Psychological counselling of children and adolescents in an active state of IBD seem to be advised in addition to standard treatment schedules.

Abstract
AIMS Disease-specific knowledge may influence disease outcome and quality of life in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This prospective study aimed to define IBD-related knowledge in a group of Australian children with IBD and their parents using a validated measure of disease-specific knowledge, the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Knowledge Inventory Device (IBD-KID). METHODS Children (less than 18 years) diagnosed with IBD who were members of the Australian patient support organisation were identified. Each family was sent copies of the IBD-KID. Children aged 10-18 years and all parents were asked to complete the IBD-KID and to also provide demographic details and disease characteristics. RESULTS Replies were received from 196 families: 262 parents and 128 children completed questionnaires. Most children had a diagnosis of Crohn disease (65%) and 51% were male. Children diagnosed in the preceding 6 years scored higher than those with longer time since diagnosis. Parents had better scores in the IBD-KID than the children (P < 0.0001). Overall, parents and children had poor understanding of key management issues for IBD (such as side effects of steroids), important outcomes (e.g. growth) and the use of complementary therapies. CONCLUSIONS Consistent patterns of IBD-related knowledge were noted in this large group of Australian children with IBD and their parents. Measurement of disease-related knowledge with the IBD-KID can identify gaps in understanding, thereby permitting focused educational activities. Although these knowledge gaps may impact upon outcomes, further prospective studies are now required to elucidate the relationships between enhanced knowledge and specific outcomes.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis, and IBD-unspecified, is a chronic immune-mediated condition of the gastrointestinal tract in which the goal of treatment is to induce and maintain durable remission. In pediatrics, there is a wide spectrum of presenting symptoms, but esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy are imperative to confirming the diagnosis. Treatment goals include achieving mucosal healing of the gastrointestinal tract, reaching growth potential, limiting medication toxicities, and optimizing quality of life for all patients.

Abstract
Behçet's disease (BD) and Crohn's disease (CD) are chronic immune-mediated, inflammatory disorders affecting many different systems (joints, skin, eyes, gastrointestinal and biliary tracts). Both disorders have fluctuating courses and when gastrointestinal symptoms are prevalent, differential diagnosis can be difficult. BD involves the gastrointestinal tract in 10-15% of cases with localized lesions in the ileocecal region. The clinical picture is heterogeneous with various clusters of disease expression. CD is a chronic inflammatory disorder, which can affect any part of the intestinal tract, as well as extra-intestinal tissue. Factors that contribute towards the pathogenesis of both disease include the host's genetic profile, and immune system, and environmental factors such as the gut microbiota. The aim of this manuscript is to provide a narrative review of clinical features of BD and CD, highlighting the importance of differential diagnosis and therapeutic approach, especially in the presence of gastrointestinal involvement. A comprehensive search of published literature using the Pubmed ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/ ) database was carried out to identify all articles published in English from 1999 to October 2016, using 4 key terms: "Behçet Disease", "Intestinal Behçet's Disease", "Crohn's Disease" and" Inflammatory Bowel Disease".

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early initiation of tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitor (TNFI) therapy for children and young adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is not well described. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of children and young adults (≤24 yr) newly diagnosed with IBD using health insurance claims from 2009 to 2013. The conventional "step-up" approach was defined as TNFI initiation >30 days after first IBD medication prescription, whereas the "top-down" approach was defined as new TNFI prescription within 30 days of first IBD medication prescription. Switching rates, time to initiation, discontinuation, and adherence to TNFIs were compared between the 2 strategies. RESULTS A total of 11,962 IBD patients were identified. Among 3300 TNFI users, 1298 (39.3%) were treated with the top-down approach, whereas 2002 (60.7%) were treated with the step-up approach. Top-down approach use increased from 31.4% to 49.8% during the 5-year period, and under this approach, most patients were treated with TNFIs alone. Time to TNFI initiation was shorter for patients diagnosed in more recent years. Patients treated with the top-down strategy had lower rates of corticosteroid use (32.5% versus 94.2%) compared with step-up treatment but presented a higher rate of TNFI discontinuation. The 2 strategies both exhibited high adherence (mean proportion of days covered: 83.7%-95.4%). CONCLUSIONS Early TNFI initiation increased over time for children and young adults with IBD and was related to lower rates of corticosteroid use compared with the conventional approach. However, the higher rate of TNFI discontinuation under the top-down approach requires further examination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) may present with lesions in their oral cavity. Lesions may be associated with the disease itself representing an extraintestinal manifestation, with nutritional deficiencies or with complications from therapy. AIM To review and describe the spectrum of oral nonmalignant manifestations in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases [ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn's disease (CD)] and to critically review all relevant data. METHODS A literature search using the terms and variants of all nonmalignant oral manifestations of inflammatory bowel diseases (UC, CD) was performed in November 2014 within Pubmed, Embase and Scopus and restricted to human studies. RESULTS Oral lesions in IBD can be divided into three categories: (i) lesions highly specific for IBD, (ii) lesions highly suspicious of IBD and (iii) nonspecific lesions. Oral lesions are more common in CD compared to UC, and more prevalent in children. In adult CD patients, the prevalence rate of oral lesions is higher in CD patients with proximal gastrointestinal tract and/or perianal involvement, and estimated to range between 20% and 50%. Oral lesions can also occur in UC, with aphthous ulcers being the most frequent type. Oral manifestations in paediatric UC may be present in up to one-third of patients and are usually nonspecific. CONCLUSIONS Oral manifestations in IBD can be a diagnostic challenge. Treatment generally involves managing the underlying intestinal disease. In cases presenting with local disabling symptoms and impaired quality of life, local and systemic medical therapy must be considered and/or oral surgery may be required.

Abstract
Exclusive enteral nutrition involves the use of a complete liquid diet, with the exclusion of normal dietary components for a defined period of time, as a therapeutic measure to induce remission in active Crohn’s disease (CD). This very efficacious approach leads to high rates of remission, especially in children and adolescents newly diagnosed with CD. This intervention also results in mucosal healing, nutritional improvements and enhanced bone health. Whilst several recent studies have provided further elaboration of the roles of exclusive enteral nutrition in the management of CD, other reports have provided new understanding of the mechanisms by which this intervention acts.
