ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
In 2018 diagnostic criteria for pediatric intestinal pseudo-obstruction (PIPO) were established. Neuromuscular dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract is one of these, and often examined through antroduodenal manometry (ADM). There is little data on antroduodenal manometries in children. Our objectives were to retrospectively apply these criteria to children evaluated for suspected motility disorder, to reevaluate the ADM patterns and compare children who did and did not meet the PIPO criteria and also with healthy adults.METHODS:
Children with a suspected gastrointestinal motility disorder previously investigated with 24-h 8-lead ADM were reevaluated by applying the 2018 ESPGHAN/NASPGHAN PIPO diagnostic criteria and the 2018 ANMS-NASPGHAN guidelines. ADM findings were compared between children who retrospectively fulfilled a PIPO diagnosis, children who did not, and a control group of healthy adults. KEYRESULTS:
Of 34 children (age 7.9 (±5.1) years, 18 males), 12 retrospectively fulfilled the 2018 PIPO diagnostic criteria. Twenty-five children (10 in the PIPO group) had abnormal diagnostic findings on ADM, whereas 9 (2 in the PIPO group) had no such findings. A PIPO diagnosis implied a significantly higher degree of abnormal ADM patterns (2.33 vs. 1.23, p = 0.02). There were no major differences in quantitative ADM measurements between the groups except higher pressures in children. CONCLUSIONS AND INFERENCES Children who retrospectively fulfilled a PIPO diagnosis had a significantly higher abundance of abnormal ADM findings compared with symptomatic children without PIPO and healthy adults. Our data indicate a need for set criteria for evaluation of ADM in children with suspected PIPO.Palabras clave
