In 2016, the European and North American Societies for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition updated guidelines for management of in children, adjusting the previous diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in response to changing epidemiology and antibiotic resistance patterns. In this study, we assessed knowledge, practice habits of management, and adherence to new guideline recommendations among one state's community pediatric providers. The majority of the surveyed community pediatric providers are not following the new pediatric guidelines for management. An evidence-practice gap for diagnosis and treatment of disease can lead to poor resource utilization, inadequate antibiotic usage, increased antibiotic resistance, and prolonged symptoms in patients. By understanding pediatric provider practices, pediatric gastroenterologists can assist in addressing the gap through development of educational interventions for community pediatric providers.
