JPGN Journal Club February 2023: Functional GI Disorders in Italian Infants and First-Year Pediatric Pancreatitis Outcomes

It’s the February JPGN Journal Club podcast, with Dr Andreas Jenke as docent and Dr Alex Knisely as interviewer. The two articles selected for discussion deal with, first, functional gastrointestinal disease as encountered in routine paediatric visits among infant and toddler populations in three regions of Italy – the conclusions will surprise you – and, second, with what patients, parents, and caregivers can expect in the first year after a bout of pancreatitis, as observed in a single academic medical centre and yielding, again, unexpected results (at least when projecting from adult- pancreatitis experience). Both these studies may make you re-consider how you evaluate affected children and how you counsel affected families. So sign in to enjoy two apple-carts being upset, one after the other !
