Popis: | Pediatric inflammatory bowel disease may present differently than adult onset disease. It is important to consider a broader differential diagnosis in very early onset disease. Diagnostic and treatment decisions must consider the long term risks and benefits over a lifetime. Surgical triggers in children may include impaired growth and inability to wean from steroids in addition to standard adult indications. Effective transition of care to adult providers is a key to prevent flares and loss of follow-up. |
