ESPN/ERA Registry, Department of Medical Informatics, Amsterdam UMC location University of Amsterdam, Meibergdreef 9, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Background: Associations between anthropometric measures and patient outcomes in children are inconsistent and mainly based on data at kidney replacement therapy (KRT) initiation. We studied associations of height and body mass index (BMI) with access to kidney transplantation, graft failure, and death during childhood KRT.
Methods: We included patients < 20 years starting KRT in 33 European countries from 1995-2019 with height and weight data recorded to the ESPN/ERA Registry.

Introduction: Colonoscopy is currently considered to be the gold standard for evaluation of colonic mucosa inflammation in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), but the procedure is invasive and cannot be repeated frequently, especially in the paediatric population. The aim of this study was to assess the role of faecal calprotectin (FC) as a predictor of endoscopic disease activity in paediatric patients with UC in clinical remission.
Material And Methods: Single-centre prospective study.
