Predictors of pouchitis after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis in pediatric-onset ulcerative colitis.

Objectives: Few studies have reported on the incidence and risk factors for pouchitis following colectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in patients with pediatric-onset ulcerative colitis (UC). We aimed to determine clinical predictors for the development of pouchitis following IPAA in this population.

Patients And Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of all pediatric UC cases that were diagnosed at the Schneider Children's Medical Center of Israel between 1981 and 2013 and who underwent colectomy during disease course.

Risk of Colectomy in Patients With Pediatric-onset Ulcerative Colitis.

Objectives: Data describing the incidence and risk factors for colectomy in pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC) is inconsistent. Our aim was to describe the colectomy rate and to identify risk factors associated with colectomy in a large cohort of children with UC with long-term follow-up.

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of pediatric UC cases that were diagnosed at Schneider Children's Medical Center of Israel between 1981 and 2013.

The natural history of pediatric-onset IBD-unclassified and prediction of Crohn's disease reclassification: a 27-year study.

Objectives: A definitive diagnosis of Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) in patients who were initially diagnosed as inflammatory bowel disease-unclassified (IBDU) remains challenging. Our aims were to describe the natural history of pediatric-onset IBDU patients during prolonged period of follow up and to identify associated predictors for CD reclassification among them.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective single center study, out of 723 patients with pediatric onset IBD, we identified 53 patients (7.

Long-term Extent Change of Pediatric-Onset Ulcerative Colitis.

Background: Data describing extent change (progression or regression) in pediatric-onset ulcerative colitis (UC) are scarce.

Goal: We aimed to describe extent change in pediatric-onset UC during long-term follow-up and to assess predictors of extent change.

Study: Medical charts of pediatric-onset UC patients with at least 5-year follow-up were analyzed retrospectively.

Incidence of Bowel Surgery and Associated Risk Factors in Pediatric-Onset Crohn's Disease.

Background: Data describing the incidence and the risk factors for surgical interventions in pediatric Crohn's disease (CD) is inconsistent. Our aim was to describe the rates of intestinal surgery and to identify associated risk factors in a large cohort of children with CD.

Methods: Medical charts of 482 children with CD from the Schneider Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease cohort who were diagnosed between 1981 and 2013 were carefully reviewed retrospectively.
