Impact of parenteral nutrition on quality of life, the family and gastrointestinal symptoms in children with intestinal failure.

Objectives: Intestinal failure (IF) and dependency on parenteral nutrition (PN) are risk factors for lower health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in children. Weaning from PN is a major goal of paediatric IF treatment, however, its impact on HRQOL remains unclear. This study aimed to assess HRQOL, gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and family impact in children with IF in relation to their need for PN.

Symptoms and management of cow's milk allergy: perception and evidence.

An ESPGHAN Position Paper on the Diagnosis, Management, and Prevention of Cow's Milk Allergy.

A previous guideline on cow's milk allergy (CMA) developed by the European Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) was published in 2012. This position paper provides an update on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of CMA with focus on gastrointestinal manifestations. All systematic reviews and meta-analyses regarding prevalence, pathophysiology, symptoms, and diagnosis of CMA published after the previous ESPGHAN document were considered.
