- Abstract
The role of nutritional interventions for the primary prevention of cow's milk allergy (CMA) remains debated as well as the role of early introduction of allergenic foods, which is largely encouraged from the beginning of complementary feeding. Considering the introduction of cow's milk protein (CMP), current recommendations suggest avoidance of any cow's milk formula (CMF) supplements in breastfed infants in the maternity ward. By contrast, based on poor evidence, some authors support systematic supplements of CMP in breastfed children at risk of allergy from the first week of life. The Committee on Nutrition of the French Society of Pediatrics considers that such a proposal requires more clinical studies and mainly randomized and placebo-controlled clinical trials before becoming a recommendation., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors have no conflict of interest with this work. The authors did not receive any financial support for this work., (Copyright © 2023 French Society of Pediatrics. Published by Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
Background: The health and safety hazards related to button batteries (BB) have been extensively studied, highlighting that the presence of a button battery in the esophagus is a life-threatening emergency. However, complications related to bowel BB are poorly evaluated and not well known. The objective of this review of the literature was to describe severe cases of BB that have passed the pylorus., Case Report: This case, from the PilBouTox cohort, is the first report of small-bowel occlusion following ingestion of an LR44 BB (diameter: 11.4 mm) by a 7-month-old infant with a history of intestinal resections. In this case, the BB was ingested without a witness. The initial presentation mimicked acute gastroenteritis evolving into hypovolemic shock. An X-ray revealed a foreign body stuck in the small bowel causing an intestinal occlusion and local necrosis without perforation. The patient's history of intestinal stenosis and intestinal surgery were the contributing factor of impaction., Systematic Literature Review: The review was performed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) statement. The research was conducted on September 12, 2022 through five database and the U.S. Poison Control Center website. An additional 12 severe cases of intestinal or colonic injury after ingestion of a single BB were identified. Of these, 11 were related to small BBs (< 15 mm) that impacted Meckel's diverticulum and one was related to postoperative stenosis., Conclusion: In view of the findings, the indications for digestive endoscopy for extraction of a BB in the stomach should include a history of intestinal stenosis or intestinal surgery so as to avoid delayed intestinal perforation or occlusion and prolonged hospitalization., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors have no competing financial interest or personal relationship that may be considered a potential competing interest., (Copyright © 2023.

- Abstract
To assess the complications of one-step button percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (B-PEG) and determine risk factors for developing stomal infections or gastropexy complications. A retrospective study of 679 children who underwent a B-PEG procedure in a single tertiary care center over a 10-year period to December 2020 was conducted. Patient characteristics, early complications (occurring ≤ 7 days after the procedure), late complications (> 7 days after the procedure), and outcomes were collected from medical records. A list of potential risk factors, including age at procedure, prematurity, underlying neurological disease, and undernutrition, was determined a priori. At least 1 year of follow-up was available for 513 patients. Median follow-up duration was 2.8 years (interquartile range 1.0-4.9 years). Major complications were rare (< 2%), and no death was related to B-PEG. Early complications affected 15.9% of the study population, and 78.0% of children presented late complications. Development of granulation tissue was the most common complication followed in frequency by tube dislodgment and T-fastener complications. Only 24 patients (3.5%) presented stomal infections. Young age at the time of PEG placement (odds ratio (OR) 2.34 [1.03-5.30], p = .042) was a risk factor for developing peristomal infection. T-fastener migration occurred in 17.3% of children, and we found underlying neurological disease was a protective factor (OR 0.59 [0.37-0.92], p = .019). Conclusion: B-PEG is a safe method and associated with a low rate of local infection. However, T-fasteners are associated with significant morbidity and require particular attention in young and premature infants. What is Known: • Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is the preferred method to provide long-term enteral nutrition in children to prevent malnutrition. The Pull-PEG method is still the most commonly used with complications , such as stomal infection. Since its description, only a few studies have reported postoperative complications of one-step button PEG (B-PEG). What is New: • T-fastener complications were not rare, and underlying neurologic disease was a protective factor. A very low rate of stomal infection was described, and young age at the time of PEG placement was a risk factor. The B-PEG is a safe method with fewer major complications than P-PEG in children., (© 2023. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature.)

- Abstract
Background: In research on pediatric chronic intestinal failure, heterogeneity in reported definitions and outcomes exists. This leads to a risk of reporting bias and impossibility of evidence synthesis. Also, reported outcomes should be relevant to both healthcare providers and patients and their parents. Therefore, the aim of this study is to create a core outcome set (COS) to be used in studies on pediatric chronic intestinal failure., Methods: Candidate outcomes were selected from a recent systematic review. A three-round Delphi study among key stakeholders and a consensus meeting with an expert panel were undertaken to achieve consensus on the COS., Results: Seventy-two stakeholders (79%) completed all three rounds of the Delphi process. Ninety-eight outcomes were assessed, and five new outcomes were added after the first round. Ten outcomes were included in the final COS: weaning from parenteral nutrition, growth, mortality, central line-related infection, central line longevity, sepsis not related to central line infection, central line-related thrombosis, intestinal failure-associated liver disease, (serious) adverse events, and health-related quality of life., Conclusion: This pediatric chronic intestinal failure COS consists of 10 outcomes important for all key stakeholders. Usage of this set in future research should minimize outcome heterogeneity and enhance the value of evidence synthesis. This will lead to better management in this field of rare gastrointestinal conditions., (© 2022 The Authors.

- Abstract
Reducing the burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) is one of the top priorities of public health policies worldwide. One of the recognized means of achieving this objective is to improve the diet quality. The Nutri-Score (N-S) is a [five-color-A, B, C, D, E letters] front-of-pack labeling logo intended to help consumers quickly identify the healthier prepackaged foods within a food category. Available studies have shown that the N-S is an efficient tool to achieve this aim in terms of consumers' awareness, perception, understanding, and purchasing and that its use may help to reduce the prevalence of NCDs. The N-S is currently implemented on a voluntary basis in 7 European countries and a discussion is underway within the European Commission to achieve a harmonized mandatory label. However, no study on the putative impact of the N-S on children's dietary patterns and health is available. The N-S is not applicable to infants' and young children's formulas and to specific baby foods, the compositions of which are already laid down in European Union regulations. The N-S does not replace age-appropriate dietary guidelines. As children consume an increasing number of adult type and processed foods, the relevance of the N-S for children should be evaluated considering the children's high specific requirements, especially in younger children. This is especially necessary for fitting fat and iron requirements, whereas protein-rich foods should be better framed. Moreover, efforts should be made to inform on how to use the N-S and in education on healthy diets., Competing Interests: J-P.C. received lectures and/or consultation fees from BINC, Nestlé, Nutricia, and a grant from the Secteur Français des Aliments de l’Enfance.

- Abstract
Long-term growth failure can have negative impact on health (by increasing morbidity and mortality) and on neurodevelopmental outcomes. Its prevalence among children with congenital heart disease (CHD) is not well described. The aim of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of growth failure in a population of infants with CHD away from cardiac surgery and identify associated factors. We conducted a retrospective and multicentric study that included infants from the North of France who underwent cardiac surgery before the age of one, between January 2013 and December 2017. 331 infants were included among which 48% had a prenatal diagnosis, 15% had a genetic syndrome, and 15% were premature infants. Mean birth weight was 3 ± 0.6 kg. At surgery, 35% presented feeding difficulties (need for enriched formula and/or feeding tube) and 14% had growth failure (defined by Z-score weight for age < -2SD). 6-12 months after surgery, 16% still presented growth failure. Several associated factors were identified: prenatal diagnosis, genetic syndrome association, birth weight ≤ 3 kg, complex CHD (≥ 2 significative lesions, or double outlet right ventricle or single ventricle physiology), surgery after 30 days, and need for diuretic drug before surgery and/or still needed 1 month after surgery. Growth failure persists between 6 and 12 months after surgery in 16% of infants with CHD. More studies are needed to link growth failure and neurodevelopment, which is the new challenge for this aging population., (© 2022.

- Abstract
Objectives: Malnutrition is common in children with biliary atresia (BA) awaiting liver transplantation (LT). Few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of enteral nutrition (EN) in these patients. The objective of this work was to assess the efficacy and tolerance of EN in children with BA awaiting LT., Methods: A total of 31 patients with BA followed between 1995 and 2018 were retrospectively included. Anthropometric indicators (weight, length, and head circumference) and adverse effects of EN were noted at the start (T0) and the end (T1) of EN. The z -scores for anthropometric indicators were compared between T0 and T1., Results: The median age at T0 was 7 months (interquartile range [IQR] 5-9), and the median duration of EN was 9 months (IQR 3-17). The z -scores for anthropometric variables improved from T0 to T1: -1.6 (IQR -2.5 to -1.0) to -0.5 (IQR -1.8 to 0.3) for median weight for age; -1.3 (IQR -2.4 to 0) to -0.4 (IQR -2.0 to 0.7) for length for age; -0.9 (IQR -2.3 to -0.3) to -0.3 (IQR -1.2 to 0.1) for weight for length; and -1.2 (IQR -2.1 to -0.6) to -0.2 (IQR -1.6 to 0.4) for body mass index ( p < 0.05 for all comparisons). Nearly all (94%) of the patients had a weight-for-length z -score > -2 at the end of EN; 23% had adverse effects and 10% had complications leading to the cessation of EN., Conclusion: EN is effective and well tolerated in infants with BA awaiting LT., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2022 Privat, Aumar, Ley, Tran, Coopman, Guimber, Turck and Gottrand.)

- Abstract
Although central venous catheter (CVC)-related thrombosis (CRT) is a severe complication of home parenteral nutrition (HPN), the amount and quality of data in the diagnosis and management of CRT remain low. We aimed to describe current practices regarding CVC management in French adult and pediatric HPN centers, with a focus on CVC obstruction and CRT. Current practices regarding CVC management in patients on HPN were collected by an online-based cross-sectional survey sent to expert physicians of French HPN centers. We compared these practices to published guidelines and searched for differences between pediatric and adult HPN centers' practices. Finally, we examined the heterogeneity of practices in both pediatric and adult HPN centers. The survey was completed by 34 centers, including 21 pediatric and 13 adult centers. We found a considerable heterogeneity, especially in the responses of pediatric centers. On some points, the centers' responses differed from the current guidelines. We also found significant differences between practices in adult and pediatric centers. We conclude that the management of CVC and CRT in patients on HPN is a serious and complex situation for which there is significant heterogeneity between HPN centers. These findings highlight the need for more well-designed clinical trials in this field.

- Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of endoscopic gastrojejunal tube (GJT) placement in infants and children., Study Design: All children undergoing endoscopic GJT placement between January 2010 and December 2019 were included in this single-center retrospective study. Difficulties with and failure of GJT placement, complication rates, and device longevity, efficacy, and duration were assessed., Results: A total of 107 children, median age 10 months (IQR, 5.0-23.0 months) and median weight 6.6 kg (IQR, 5.3-9.5 kg), underwent endoscopic GJT placement using the gastric stoma to introduce the endoscope (one step: n = 36 of 107; 33.6%). Endoscopic placement was successful in 99%. Eight periprocedure complications occurred, including 1 pneumoperitoneum requiring exsufflation, 2 acute pulmonary hypertension episodes leading to death in 1 case, and 5 episodes of bronchospasm. Minor complications were frequent and mostly mechanical (79%), whereas major complications were rare (5.6%): intussusception (n = 4), intestinal perforation (n = 1), and pneumoperitoneum (n = 1). Ten patients died. Of the 97 patients who lived, 85 (87%) were weaned from jejunal feeding at a median of 179 days (IQR, 69-295 days) after initiation. Among them, 30 (35.2%) required fundoplication. Weight for age z-score was significantly higher at weaning., Conclusions: GJT placement is feasible in children, even low-weight infants. Complications are frequent but are mostly minor., (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
Enteral nutrition (EN) allows adequate nutritional intake in children for whom oral intake is impossible, insufficient or unsafe. With maturation and health improvements, most children ameliorate oral skills and become able to eat orally, therefore weaning from EN becomes a therapeutic goal. No recommendations currently exist on tube weaning, and practices vary widely between centres. With this report, the French Network of Rare Digestive Diseases (FIMATHO) and the French-Speaking Group of Paediatric Hepatology, Gastroenterology and Nutrition (GFHGNP) aim to develop uniform clinical practice recommendations for weaning children from EN. A multidisciplinary working group (WG) encompassing paediatricians, paediatric gastroenterologists, speech-language therapists, psychologists, dietitians and occupational therapists, was formed in June 2018. A systematic literature search was performed on those published from January 1, 1998, to April 30, 2020, using MEDLINE. After several rounds of e-discussions, relevant items for paediatric tube weaning were identified, and recommendations were developed, discussed and finalized. The WG members voted on each recommendation using a nominal voting technique. Expert opinion was applied to support the recommendations where no high-quality studies were available., (© 2021.

- Abstract
Background: No consensus currently exists on tube-weaning practice worldwide. The aim of this study was to describe tube-weaning practice (indications and modalities) of a panel of pediatric gastroenterologists involved in the management of prolonged enteral nutrition (EN)., Methods: A cross-sectional survey of pediatric gastroenterologists involved in the management of children receiving prolonged (>3 months) EN who were likely to be weaned was conducted. A questionnaire containing 24 questions was disseminated to the French Speaking Group of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition members. The association between weaning practice and the experience of respondents was investigated., Results: In total, 311 professionals were approached, and 64 questionnaires were completed (response rate 21%). Nearly all respondents (n = 61, 95%) reported using individualized weaning programs. Weaning attempts were performed more frequently at home, and follow-up was performed in the outpatient clinic (97%) by progressive EN volume reduction (83%). Inpatient weaning was performed by only 28% of participants. The choice of the setting was predominantly (59%) based on parental request. Management and follow-up involved mainly the referring pediatric gastroenterologist and the dietitian. Fifty-one (80%) of the respondents experienced ≥1 weaning failure., Conclusions: This is one of only a few studies examining real-life pediatric tube-weaning practices. Considerable practice variation between centers was observed; some of the common practices included the setting of weaning (outpatient vs inpatient) and the eligibility criteria. Increasing knowledge about weaning modalities is the starting point for the design of consensual standardized programs., (© 2021 American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition.)
