Insights

Pediatric feeding disorder (PFD) is common in children with short bowel syndrome (SBS). While PFD prevalence decreases with age, affected children require ongoing medical care.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Nutritional Science
  • Clinical Research

Background:

  • Short bowel syndrome (SBS) significantly impacts pediatric nutrition and development.
  • Pediatric feeding disorder (PFD) is a recognized complication in children with SBS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of PFD in pediatric patients with SBS.
  • To identify factors associated with the persistence of PFD in this population.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study analyzed data from 28 pediatric SBS patients.
  • Data were collected at regular intervals from diagnosis up to 4 years of age.
  • Nutritional support, demographics, and anthropometric data were recorded.

Main Results:

  • PFD prevalence was high, starting at 100% at 1 year and decreasing to 70% by 4 years.
  • Resolution of PFD was associated with necrotizing enterocolitis as the etiology and greater remaining small bowel percentage.
  • Vomiting and need for postpyloric feeds were more common in patients with PFD.

Conclusions:

  • Pediatric feeding disorder is highly prevalent in children with short bowel syndrome.
  • Although PFD prevalence declines, affected children necessitate continued medical attention.
  • Factors like etiology and residual bowel length influence PFD resolution.

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding

Enteral nutrition delivers nutrients directly to the stomach or small intestine through a tube. This method is appropriate for patients who cannot eat but still have a functioning digestive system. It is also beneficial for individuals with swallowing difficulties, anorexia, malabsorption, or those who have undergone gastrointestinal (GI) surgery.
Orogastric (OG) and nasogastric (NG) feeding are two standard methods used for enteral nutrition. Enteral nutrition is often preferred over...

Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Overview and Drug Absorption

Understanding the physiological differences in the pediatric population is crucial for effective pharmacotherapy. Neonates, infants, and children exhibit significant variations in gastric pH, gastric emptying time, intestinal transit time, and biliary function. These variations profoundly affect oral drug absorption, necessitating a nuanced approach to pediatric dosing.Neonates present with a unique physiological profile, having a gastric pH greater than 4 and faster and more irregular gastric...

Bulimia Nervosa01:30

Bulimia Nervosa

Bulimia nervosa is a complex and severe eating disorder characterized by a cyclical pattern of binge-and-purge eating pattern. It generally involves an episode of binge eating, followed by compensatory behaviors such as vomiting, excessive exercise, laxative use, or fasting, to prevent weight gain. Despite often maintaining a normal weight, individuals with bulimia are intensely preoccupied with their body image and harbor an overwhelming fear of gaining weight. This can contribute to the...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Diagnostic Studies and Management I-Nutritional Therapy

Various diagnostic tests are employed in the diagnostic process for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), particularly to differentiate between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:
