AI Article Synopsis
- Refractory constipation (RC) in children is a unique condition that significantly affects the quality of life for both patients and their families.
- Effective treatment for RC necessitates specialized diagnostic assessments and management strategies, often requiring a team of experts including pediatric neurogastroenterologists and potentially surgeons.
- This document marks the first official position by the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition addressing RC, outlining its definition, evaluation processes, and management approaches.
Article Abstract
Refractory constipation (RC) in pediatric patients should be recognized as a distinct condition with long-term impacts on patient and family quality of life. RC requires a more targeted diagnostic evaluation and complex management strategy that may involve management by pediatric neurogastroenterology and motility specialists and multidisciplinary teams including surgeons. Currently, there is a lack of a clear definition, evaluation, and management strategies for RC. This is the first North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition position paper to address pediatric RC regarding its definition, evaluation, and management.
