Abstract

OBJECTIVE:
To systematically review literature assessing efficacy and safety of pharmacologic treatments in children with abdominal pain-relatedfunctional gastrointestinal disorders (AP-FGIDs).

STUDY DESIGN:
MEDLINE and Cochrane Database were searched for systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials investigating efficacy and safety of pharmacologic agents in children aged 4-18 years with AP-FGIDs. Quality of evidence was assessed using Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach.

Celtik C, Durmaz O, Oner N, Yavuz T, Gökce S, Aydogan A, Nisli K, Emiroglu HH, Ömeroglu RE, Sökücü S. Investigation of cardiomyopathy in children with cirrhotic and noncirrhotic portal hypertension. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2015 Feb; 60(2): 177-81.

Abstract

BACKGROUND:
Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCMP) is a functional disorder characterized by electrophysiological disturbances, and diastolic and/or systolic dysfunction in patients with liver disease. This disorder is a well-defined entity in adults, but pediatric data are limited. The aim of the study was to determine the incidence, features, and risk factors of CCMP in children with portal hypertension (PHT).

Di Giorgio A, Bravi M, Bonanomi E, Alessio G, Sonzogni A, Zen Y, Colledan M, D'Antiga L. Fulminant hepatic failure of autoimmune aetiology in children. J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr. 2015 Feb; 60(2): 159-64.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is considered an underdiagnosed cause of fulminant hepatic failure (FHF). Autoimmune FHF (AI-FHF) is believed to lead invariably to liver transplantation (LTX) or death. We aimed to describe the autoimmune features of children diagnosed as having AI-FHF and indeterminate FHF (ID-FHF), and describe the outcome of patients with AI-FHF treated with immunosuppressive drugs.
