Article Synopsis
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects children's nutrition and growth, causing issues like anorexia and malabsorption.
- A study analyzed 165 pediatric IBD patients over several years, showing that malnutrition decreased from 53.5% at presentation to 46.9% at follow-up, and thinness significantly improved.
- Findings suggest that children with IBD may face a higher risk of obesity in adulthood, with specific predictors for nutritional outcomes tied to age of onset and initial body measurements.
Introduction Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic diseases that can affect nutrient absorption leading to micronutrient deficiencies and biochemical abnormalities.This study aimed to assess certain serum micronutrients and nutritionally related biochemical markers levels in patients with pediatric IBD and to compare the actual levels and the prevalence of micronutrients deficiencies and biochemical abnormalities between patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and those with ulcerative colitis (UC). Methods A retrospective cross-sectional study reviewing medical records of patients with IBD was conducted in the pediatric department, Salmaniya medical complex, Bahrain, from 1 January 1984 to 31 December 2021.

This study aimed to assess the linear growth of patients with pediatric IBD and to detect the frequency and the possible risk factors of LGI. Methods A retrospective cross-sectional review of medical records of patients with pediatric IBD was conducted in the pediatrics department, Salmaniya Medical Complex, Bahrain, from 1984 to 2019.

Methods: This is a case-control retrospective study. Medical records of NIH patients admitted to the Pediatric Department, Salmaniya Medical Complex, Bahrain, between January 2007 and June 2010 were reviewed.
