Abstract Introduction: The numbers of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the pediatric population are low so far. There is limited information about the behavior of SARS-CoV-2 in a pediatric patient with chronic kidney disease. Objective: To formulate informed recommendations to the prevention, diagnosis, and management of SARS-CoV-2 infection in pediatric patients with kidney disease or acute kidney injury associated with COVID-19 in Colombia. Methodology: A rapid systematic review was performed in Embase and Pubmed databases and scientific societies, to answer questions prioritized by clinical experts in pediatric nephrology. The quality of the evidence was evaluated with validated tools according to the type of study. The preliminary recommendations were consulted by an expert group. The agreement was defined when approval was obtained from at least 70% of the experts consulted. Results: A response was obtained from ' 9 experts in pediatric nephrology in Colombia, who declared the conflict of interest before the consultation. The range of agreement for the recommendations ranged from 78.9% to '00%. The recommendations did not require a second consultation. Conclusion: The evidence-based recommendations for the management of a patient with kidney disease and COVID-19 in the Colombian context are presented.

Zoom Image Abstract Objective Bladder and bowel dysfunction (BBD) is defined as the presence of functional alterations in both organs. The correct diagnosis and treatment prevent the exposure of patients to multiple antibiotic treatments, invasive procedures and radiological studies. The aim of the present study was to estimate the prevalence of BBD in the outpatient clinic of pediatric urology and nephrology. Methods A prospective cohort composed of 334 patients aged between 5 and 18 years was evaluated. The Pediatric Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Score (PLUTSS) was applied. A score higher than 8 was considered as significant urinary symptomatology. Moreover, the Bristol Stool Scale and the Rome IV Criteria for functional constipation and fecal incontinence were used. Patients with organic pathologies were excluded. The risk factors were evaluated using logistic regression models. Results The median age was 9 years old (interquartile range [IQR]: 613). The PLUTSS questionnaire was significant in 16.5% of the kids, constipation was found in 31.9%, and fecal incontinence, in 4%. The prevalence of BBD was of 27.8%. The female gender (odds ratio [OR]: 2.47; p = 0.002) and psychological disorders (OR: 4.637; p = 0.024) were considered risk factors. The evaluation of the PLUTSS questionnaire showed relevance regarding incontinence (OR: 3.059; p = 0.038), enuresis (OR: 8.532; p < 0.001); intermittent flow (OR: 9.211; p = 0.004), frequency (OR: 6.73; p = 0.005), and constipation (OR: 34.46; p < 0.001). Conclusions The prevalence of BBD is of 27.8% in the outpatient clinic. It is important to prevent associated complications and the exposure to multiple antibiotic treatments, as well as invasive and imaging procedures, which also generate high costs to the health system.
Resumen Objetivo El síndrome de disfunción de la vejiga y del intestino (DVI) se define como la presencia de alteraciones funcionales en ambos órganos. El correcto diagnóstico y tratamiento previene la exposición de los pacientes a múltiples manejos antibióticos, procedimientos invasivos y estudios radiológicos. El objetivo de este estudio es estimar la prevalencia de DVI en la consulta ambulatoria de urología y nefrología pediátrica. Métodos Se evaluó una cohorte prospectiva de 334 pacientes de 5 a 18 años. Se aplicó el cuestionario de Puntuación de Síntomas del Tracto Urinario Inferior (Pediatric Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Score, PLUTSS), cuyo resultado mayor a 8 fue considerado significativo. Adicionalmente, se usó la Escala de Heces de Bristol (Bristol Stool Scale) y los Criterios Roma IV (Rome IV Criteria) para estreñimiento e incontinencia fecal. Los factores de riesgo se evaluaron bajo modelos de regresión logística. Resultados La edad mediana fue de 9 años (rango intercuartil [RIC]: 613). El cuestionario PLUTSS fue significativo en 16,5% de los niños, y se observó estreñimiento en 31,9%, e incontinencia fecal en 4%. La prevalencia de DVI fue de 27,8%. El sexo femenino (razón de probabilidades [RP]: 2.47; p = 0.002) y desordenes psicológicos (RP: 4.637; p = 0.024) fueron considerados factores de riesgo. La evaluación del cuestionario PLUTSS mostró relevancia en incontinencia (RP: 3.059; p = 0.038), enuresis (RP: 8.532; p < 0.001), flujo intermitente (RP: 9.211; p = 0.004), frecuencia (RP: 6.73; p = 0.005), y estreñimiento (RP: 34.46; p < 0.001). Conclusiones La prevalencia de DVI fue de 27.8% en la consulta ambulatoria. Es importante prevenir complicaciones asociadas y la exposición a múltiples tratamientos antibióticos, procedimientos invasivos e imagenológicos, que adicionalmente generan altos costos al sistema de salud.

The exponential increase in the request for laboratory tests of 25-Hydroxyvitamin D or [25 (OH) D has ignited the alarms and generated a strong call for attention, since it may reflect deficiencies in the standardization of clinical practice and in the use non-systematic scientific evidence for decision-making in real life, which allows to analyze the indications of the test, its frequency, interpretation and even to assess the impact for health systems, especially when contrasted with the minimum or almost. No effects of the strategy of screening or supplying indiscriminately to the general population, without considering a comprehensive clinical assessment of risks and needs of people. From a purely public health impact point of view, the consequence of massive and unspecified requests is affecting most of the health systems and institutions at the global level. The primary studies that determined average population intake values have been widely used in the formulation of recommendations in Clinical Practice Guidelines, but unfortunately misinterpreted as cut points to diagnose disease and allow the exaggerated prescription of nutritional substitution. The coefficient of variation in routine tests to measure blood levels of 25 (OH) D is high (28%), decreasing the overall accuracy of the test and simultaneously, increasing both the falsely high and falsely low values. The most recent scientific evidence analyzes and seriously questions the usefulness and the real effect of the massive and indiscriminate practice of prescribing vitamin D without an exhaustive risk analysis. The available evidence is insufficient to recommend a general substitution of vitamin D to prevent fractures, falls, changes in bone mineral density, incidence of cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular disease, neoplasms and also to modify the growth curve of mothers' children. They received vitamin D as a substitute during pregnancy. The recommendations presented in the document are based on the critical analysis of current evidence and the principles of good clinical practice and invite to consider a rational use of 25 (OH) D tests in the context of a clinical practice focused on people and a comprehensive assessment of needs and risks. The principles of good practice suggest that clinicians may be able to justify that the results of the 25 (OH) D test strongly influence and define clinical practice and modify the outcomes that interest people and impact their health and wellness. Currently there is no clarity on how to interpret the results, and the relationship between symptoms and 25 (OH) D levels, which may not be consistent with the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency reported. For this reason, it is suggested to review the rationale of the request for tests for systematic monitoring of levels of 25 (OH) D or in all cases where substitution is performed. Consider the use of 25 (OH) D tests within the comprehensive evaluation of people with suspicion or confirmation of the following conditions: rickets, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, hyper or hypoparathyroidism, malabsorption syndromes, sarcopenia, metabolic bone disease.
