Enteric Permeability, Systemic Inflammation, and Post-Discharge Growth Among a Cohort of Hospitalized Children in Kenya and Pakistan
Conclusions: Although increased enteric permeability is more prevalent among children being discharged from hospital compared to children in the community, it does not appear to be an important determinant of systemic inflammation or post-discharge growth among hospitalized children.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Assess Body Composition Change in Adolescents With Obesity After Sleeve Gastrectomy
Objectives: Metabolic and bariatric surgery is the most effective weight loss treatment for severe obesity. The number of adolescents undergoing sleeve gastrectomy is increasing. We investigated changes in body composition in adolescents undergoing sleeve gastrectomy 12–26 weeks post-operatively using whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI). Methods: This prospective cohort study assessed changes in adipose tissue compartments (ie, visceral, subcutaneous, and intermuscular) and muscle in 18 obese adolescents, ages 14–19, 89% female, with body mass index z-score of 2.6 ± 0.25 (range 2.16–3.2). A...

Technical Outcomes in Pediatric Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography: Data from an International Collaborative
Objectives: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in adults has been extensively studied through multicenter prospective studies. Similar pediatric studies are lacking. The Pediatric ERCP Database Initiative (PEDI) is a multicenter collaborative aiming to evaluate the indications and technical outcomes in pediatric ERCPs. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, data were recorded for pediatric ERCPs performed across 15 centers. A pre-procedure, procedure, 2-week post-procedure follow-up, and adverse event form were completed for each ERCP performed. Univariate and stepwise linear regression wa...

Pancreatitis in the Complex Care Population: Presentation, Incidence, and Severity
Objectives: To describe the incidence and presentation of pancreatitis in Children with Medical Complexity (CMC) while evaluating severity of disease and outlining risk factors. Methods: This was a retrospective chart review between January 2010 and December 2019 of patients seen in the complex care clinic at Nationwide Children’s Hospital (NCH) and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC). Data collected included sex, underlying diagnosis, family history of pancreatitis, type of pancreatitis, signs/symptoms, abdominal imaging, severity of attack, and presence of various risk factors associated ...

Correlation of Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase Antibodies With the Mucosal Changes and IgA Status of Children With Celiac Disease
The objective of this study was to assess the association between serological markers and changes of the intestinal mucosa in children with celiac disease (CD). Methods: Clinical data from CD patients under 15 years old were collected from the participating centers in an on-line multicenter nationwide observational Spanish registry called REPAC-2 (2011–2017). Correlation between anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (t-TGA) levels and other variables, including mucosal damage and clinical findings (symptoms, age, and gender), was assessed. Results: A total of 2955 of 4838 patients had t-TGA and a small bo...

Characteristics of Children With Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Coexisting Celiac Disease Seropositivity
Conclusions: Diagnosing CeD in children with IBD continues to be challenging. Although high titers of tTG IgA and VA increased provider confidence for diagnosing CeD in IBD, development of evidence-based guidelines are needed. They should better assess the importance of features atypical of concomitant CeD that contribute to uncertainty. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition)

Tofacitinib Salvage Therapy for Children Hospitalized for Corticosteroid- and Biologic-Refractory Ulcerative Colitis
Conclusions: Tofacitinib may represent a new treatment option for hospitalized pediatric patients with corticosteroid- and anti-TNF-nonresponsive ulcerative colitis. Future research is essential in determining the optimal positioning of these therapies. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition)

Predictors of Perianal Fistula Healing in Children With Newly Diagnosed Crohn Disease
Objectives: Perianal fistulas are among the most severe complications of Crohn disease, but limited data regarding their outcomes are available in children. Our objective was to determine predictors of perianal fistula healing among pediatric patients newly diagnosed with Crohn disease. Methods: This single-center retrospective study followed patients with perianal fistulas at Crohn disease diagnosis until fistula healing. Time to healing was analyzed using Cox proportional hazard regression models considering relevant covariates including patient demographics, disease characteristics, medical therapies [no anti...
