Micronutrient Deficiencies and Anemia in Children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at risk of developing nutrition deficiencies, particularly because of reduced intake, restrictive diets, malabsorption, and excessive nutrient loss. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and predictors of anemia and micronutrient deficiencies at diagnosis and one year follow up in children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Children and young adults diagnosed with IBD before the age of 17 years between 2012 and 2018 were included.

Obesity Is More Common in Children Newly Diagnosed With Ulcerative Colitis as Compared to Those With Crohn Disease.

Objective: This prospective observational study aimed to examine the prevalence of obesity in a population-based cohort of children and young adults newly diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and assess their outcome in comparison to newly diagnosed normal/underweight patients.

Methods: Our longitudinal population-based cohort comprised all children younger than 17 years diagnosed with IBD in the province of Manitoba, Canada between 2012 and 2018. Cox regression model with adjustment for a priori covariates was used to examine the time to first relapse among patients who were obese/overweight at the time of IBD diagnosis in comparison to patients who were normal or underweight.

The Use of Capsule Endoscopy For Diagnosis of Iron Deficiency Anemia: A Retrospective Analysis.

Background: There was some ambiguity in the recent guidelines on the use of capsule endoscopy (CE) in cases of iron deficiency anemia (IDA).

Goal: We aimed to examine the yield of CE in diagnosing the cause of IDA and to define clinical parameters that predict higher diagnostic yields.

Materials And Methods: A total of 1351 individuals underwent CE in Winnipeg between 2005 and 2016.

Barriers to clinical research in children with inflammatory bowel disease: The patients' perspective.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the proportion of patients' caregivers willing to participate in clinical research and examine the possible barriers against recruitment to clinical research in children with inflammatory bowel disease.

Methods: In a cross-sectional study, caregivers and children with inflammatory bowel disease were surveyed via a questionnaire that addressed parents' willingness to participate in clinical studies and factors influencing their willingness to participate.

Results: A total of 118 caregivers to children with inflammatory bowel disease [median age 14.

Nordic walking training and nutritional supplementation in pre-frail older Indians: an open-labelled experimental pre-test and post-test pilot study to develop intervention model.

Background: Identifying and treating people in a pre-frail state may be an effective way to prevent or delay frailty and preserve their functional capacity. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of, and compliance with, a 12 week individualized nutritional supplementation (INS) and Nordic walking (NW) program in pre-frail older Indians. The primary measure is physical performance, as indicated by Fried's Frailty scale.
