Background: The 2021 ECCO-ESPGHAN guideline on the medical management of pediatric Crohn's disease promotes early risk stratification and top-down anti-TNF for patients deemed high risk of severe disease course.
Aims: We aimed to objectively assess the risk-benefit profile of the guideline's risk stratification policy and guidance on top-down anti-TNF in a nationwide population-based cohort study.
Methods: Using a prospectively identified nationwide cohort of all new pediatric patients (<17 years) diagnosed with Crohn's disease in Scotland between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2020 and retrospectively applying the current management algorithm, we explored the guideline's ability to accurately risk stratify patients.

Coeliac disease (CD) affects almost of 1% of the population, yet remains undiagnosed in the majority. Though the demonstration of enteropathy in duodenal biopsy was traditionally the essential criterion for the diagnosis of coeliac disease, the guidelines published by the European Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) in 2012, and revised in 2020, paved the way to a no-biopsy approach to diagnosis. In a select group of children meeting certain criteria, a definitive diagnosis of CD can now be made without the need for duodenal biopsies.

Food allergy prevention has undergone a significant transformation over the past 3 decades. This review provides an overview of the evolution of food allergy prevention, highlighting changes in guidance, cost-effectiveness of prevention, the role of shared decision-making, and the emergence of oral immunotherapy for those in whom primary prevention fails. Changes to food allergy prevention over recent decades can be conceptualized into five epochs, which have followed a general trend of loosening restrictions on the allergen introduction timeline.

Medical decisions about pediatric gastroenterology pathologies often involve collaboration between the medical team and the family. On occasions, conflict may arise between the individuals involved in decision making (team-family conflict) causing delays in managing a child's health condition. Little is known on the strategies that can be implemented to address such conflicts.
