Study Notes
Nutritional Management in Pediatrics
- Weight loss is a common complication in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
- Children with IBD require monitoring for both macro- and micronutrient deficiencies.
- Supplementation with dietary supplements is often necessary.
- Children with IBD may require surgery to remove a portion of the bowel.
- Children with IBD have lower bone density compared to children without IBD.
Emotional Support for Pediatric Patients
- Emotional support and counseling are essential to help children with IBD cope with the challenges of living with the disease.
- School absences and difficulties keeping up with peers can negatively impact self-esteem.
- Parental support is crucial, and healthcare providers should collaborate with parents to arrange tutoring or home schooling for children with extended absences from school.
Patient Education for Pediatric and Adult Family Members
- The importance of patient education for both children and their families in managing IBD effectively.
- Family members require education to understand and care for the disease appropriately.
- Surveillance for colorectal cancer and monitoring for primary sclerosing cholangitis are essential topics to discuss with patients and families.
IBD in Pregnant Women
- The peak incidence of IBD occurs during childbearing years, leading to common questions about fertility, pregnancy, and breastfeeding.
- A multidisciplinary team including maternal-fetal medicine and gastroenterology is crucial for managing pregnant patients with IBD.
- Guidelines suggest at least 6 months of IBD remission, including 3 months steroid-free remission, before attempting pregnancy.
- Maximizing nutritional status before, during, and after pregnancy is important.
- Infertility risk in women without IBD surgery aligns with the general population.
- Those who have undergone IBD surgery have an increased risk of fallopian tube and ovary inflammation and scarring.
- Artificial reproductive technology is less effective in women with IBD compared to those without the disease.
IBD in Older Adults
- IBD is common in older adults, with 25–35% of all individuals with IBD being over the age of 60.
- Up to 15% of individuals are diagnosed with IBD after the age of 60.
- IBD is often less aggressive in older adults, and the location of the disease tends to remain stable.
- Older adults with Crohn's disease experience less abdominal pain, fewer systemic symptoms, and less diarrhea compared to younger patients.
- Older adults with ulcerative colitis experience less abdominal pain and rectal bleeding compared to younger patients.
- Treatment is tailored to the severity of the disease and co-existing health conditions.
- Adherence to medication regimens can be challenging due to managing multiple health conditions in addition to IBD.
- Careful consideration is necessary to avoid drug-to-drug interactions when administering medication.
