Outcomes Following Pouch Formation in Paediatric Ulcerative Colitis: A Study From the Porto Group of ESPGHAN.

We aimed to assess outcomes and predictors in children with ulcerative colitis/inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-unclassified who underwent colectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis.

Methods: This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study from 17 IBD centers affiliated with the pediatric IBD Porto group of ESPGHAN.

Serum Calprotectin in Adolescents With Inflammatory Bowel Disease-A Pilot Investigation.

Objectives: Fecal calprotectin (FC) is a well-integrated parameter in the monitoring of adolescent patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, measurement of FC is limited by day-to-day-variation and by the feces consistency. Furthermore, adolescents are often noncompliant to deliver fecal sampling leading to suboptimal monitoring.
