Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the differences in microbiome profiles among children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), autoimmune liver disease (AILD), a combination of both (IBD-AILD), and healthy controls.
- Results show that children with AILD alone have microbiome profiles similar to healthy controls, while IBD and IBD-AILD share distinct profiles different from AILD alone.
- The findings imply that the microbial imbalance (dysbiosis) in IBD-AILD and IBD is primarily influenced by IBD rather than AILD.
Agreement Level of Inflammatory Bowel Disease Symptom Reports between Children and Their Parents.

Purpose: Children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) frequently undergo clinical assessments, involving triadic communication between clinician, parent, and child. During such encounters parents are traditionally the main communicator of information on their child's IBD, including subjective symptom reports. The level of agreement between children and their parents for IBD symptoms is poorly understood, and this study aimed to examine this factor.

Knowledge levels of individual family members are infrequently studied but may identify where education is best directed. We aimed to assess disease-specific knowledge among children with IBD, parents, and siblings, using a validated assessment tool (IBD-KID2), and to establish generalizability of IBD-KID2.
