Background: Monitoring the risk of intussusception after the introduction of rotavirus vaccines is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). Although the validity of intussusception monitoring using electronic health records (EHRs) has been confirmed previously, no similar studies have been conducted in China. We aimed to verify the diagnosis and determine an algorithm with the best performance for identification of intussusception using Chinese EHR databases.
Research Design And Methods: Using the Regional Health Information Platform in Ningbo, patients aged 0-72 months from 2015 to 2021 with any related visits for intussusception were included. The algorithms were based on diagnostic codes or keywords in different clinical scenarios, and their performance was evaluated with positive predictive value (PPV) and sensitivity in line with the Brighton guidelines.
Results: Brighton level 1 intussusception was confirmed in 2958 patients with 3246 episodes. Fine-tuned algorithms combining the appearance of the relevant ICD-10 codes or the Chinese keyword 'Chang Tao' in any diagnostic reports with the results of enema treatments or related surgeries showed the highest sensitivity, while the highest PPV was obtained by further criteria based on typical radiographic appearances.
Conclusion: Intussusception could be identified and validated internally using EHRs in Ningbo.

Case Report: Acute intussusception in a 2-year-old male patient: a rare case of Burkitt's lymphoma coexisting with Meckel's diverticulum.

In children, 90% cases of intussusception are idiopathic and the remaining 10% are attributed to underlying diseases (most commonly due to Meckel's diverticulum, polyps then either duplication cyst or mesentery cysts, and rarely due to Burkitt's lymphoma). The occurrence of acute intestinal intussusception caused by Burkitt's lymphoma in children under the age of 5 is exceedingly rare. Burkitt's lymphoma presents with diverse clinical manifestations, often leading to the identification of an abdominal tumor in pediatric patients.

Article Synopsis
- * Imaging techniques, especially ultrasound, are essential for detecting this condition due to their effectiveness in identifying its specific features.
- * A case study of a 9-month-old boy demonstrated colocolic intussusception with no clear cause, leading to tissue damage that required surgical removal and reconnection of the affected colon segments.

Background: Intussusception, a common cause of abdominal pain in children, often lacks clear underlying causes and is mostly idiopathic. Recurrence, though rare, raises clinical concerns, with rates escalating after each episode. Factors like pathological lead points and Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) are associated with recurrent cases.

A relatively rare inherited condition known as Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) causes mucocutaneous pigmentation and gastrointestinal hamartomatous polyps. These polyps are non-cancerous, but the presence of PJS significantly increases the chances of developing various types of cancers, such as colorectal, pancreatic, gastric, and breast cancer. The purpose of this review article is to give an abbreviated summary of what is currently known about this syndrome, covering its clinical symptoms, pathophysiology, genetics, and management.

Burkitt's lymphoma (BL) is considered an aggressive form of a non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma, representing less than 5% of all pediatric malignancies and 30% of pediatric lymphomas. However, intestinal BL may present as a lead point, causing intussusception. Surgery continues to be the gold standard for the treatment and identification of localized tumors to ensure complete removal with proper margin.
