Background: The relationship between Helicobacter-pylori(Hp)infection and inflammatory-bowel-disease(IBD) in pediatric-patients remains controversial. We aimed to assess the Hp-infection occurrence in newly-diagnosed pediatric-patients with IBD compared to no-IBD patients. Additionally, we aimed to examine differences in clinical-activity-index(CAI) and endoscopic-severity-score(ESS)between IBD-patients with and without Hp-infection, at baseline and at 1-year-follow-up(FU), after eradication-therapy(ET). Methods: IBD diagnosis was based on Porto-criteria, and all patients underwent gastroscopy at baseline and 1-year FU. For Crohn's-disease(CD) and ulcerative colitis(UC), IBD-CAI and -ESS were classified using PCDAI/SES-CD and PUCAI/UCEIS, respectively. Results: 76 IBD-patients were included in the study[35 F(46.1%),median-age 12(range 2–17)]. CD and UC were diagnosed in 29(38.2%) and 45(59.2%)patients, respectively, and unclassified-IBD in two(2.6%)patients. Non-IBD patients were 148[71 F(48.0%),median-age 12(range 1–17)]. Hp-infection at baseline was reported in 7(9.2%) and 18(12.2%)IBD and non-IBD patients, respectively(p = 0.5065). The 7 IBD patients with Hp infection were compared to 69 IBD patients without Hp-infection at baseline evaluation, and no significant differences were reported considering CAI and ESS in these two groups. At 1-year FU, after ET, IBD patients with Hp infection improved, both for CAI and ESS, but statistical significance was not reached. Conclusion: The occurrence of Hp-infection did not differ between IBD and no-IBD patients. No differences in CAI or ESS were observed at the diagnosis, and after ET no worsening of CAI or ESS was noted at one-year FU, between Hp-positive and -negative IBD patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
