    Abstract Faecal calprotectin (FC) is a marker of gut inflammation. The cause and relevance of raised FC in children outside the context of established inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have had minimal attention. This study aimed to address this by carrying out a retrospective study on children with abnormal FC tests aged 4-17 years without established IBD in the South Island, New Zealand. Abnormal FC results were stratified: 51-249 μg/g, 250-499 μg/g, and 500+ μg/g, and participants were categorised into diagnostic groups. Data were collected on symptoms and diagnostic tests. Three-hundred and ten children had abnormal index FC results, with a mean age of 12.9 years, and a 55% proportion of females. The median FC was 125 μg/g; 71% had levels 51-249 μg/g and 21% had levels 500+ μg/g. Of those with FC 500+ μg/g, 89% either had infectious diarrhoea or were diagnosed with IBD at the time of, or subsequent to, the index FC. Alarm symptoms did not delineate between groups with FC 500+ μg/g. Abnormalities in platelet levels, abdominal ultrasound, and colonoscopy were more frequent for children diagnosed with IBD. Repeat FC test levels were significantly reduced except for those subsequently diagnosed with IBD. Abnormal FC levels for the majority were below the level indicative of mucosal inflammation. Repeat FC testing could play an important role in distinguishing between diagnoses.

    Abstract Background and aim: For children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), optimal levels of vitamin D are ascribed anti-inflammatory and essential immune system roles that are associated with reduced disease activity, lower postoperative recurrence, and higher quality of life. International guidelines for vitamin D testing and supplementation provide inconsistent recommendations. The aim of this study was to survey Australasian pediatric gastroenterologists to ascertain current practices of vitamin D testing and supplementation for children with IBD.
    Methods: Members of the Australian Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition were invited to complete an online survey. Respondents were asked to provide information on frequency of vitamin D testing and supplementation, adherence, and benefits of vitamin D to children with IBD.
    Results: Thirty-two (54%) pediatric gastroenterologists completed the survey: 27 (84%) from Australia and 5 (16%) from New Zealand. The majority (90%) tested vitamin D levels at diagnosis and follow up, although testing frequency varied (1-3 times/year) and only 8 (28%) tested seasonally. While 28 (88%) recommended supplementation based on serum levels, inconsistent cutoff values were used. Most respondents (
    Conclusions: The results indicate that standardized guidelines for vitamin D testing and supplementation for clinicians caring for children with IBD throughout Australasia are required. Consensus statements may optimize the care of children with IBD in this diverse geographical region.

    Abstract Background and objective: When a child with chronic gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms presents to a primary care physician or general paediatrician, the clinician is challenged with differentiating between functional or organic disease. When there is a high suspicion of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), rapid referral to a paediatric gastroenterologist for assessment and treatment will help protect against the sequelae of a delayed diagnosis for a child. However, this must be balanced against the need for ensuring appropriate referrals and avoiding invasive diagnostic testing for those with non-organic aetiology. The objective of this narrative review was to present evidence on specific presenting symptoms, testing, and risk factors of paediatric IBD that may aid the identification of children requiring timely referral for specialist care, thereby reducing the chance of a delayed diagnosis.
    Methods: Literature databases (Medline, Embase) were searched using terms specific to the population studied, and topic specific terms relating to each section of the review. Year limits were set for 2010-2022. Included papers were limited to original research, with meta-analyses considered where of benefit.
    Key content and findings: Children often present with non-specific GI symptoms that may be associated with a delayed diagnosis for those with subsequent IBD. Symptoms such as rectal bleeding or weight loss may indicate the need for rapid referral. However, non-specific symptoms necessitate testing strategies to differentiate between those with possible IBD and non-organic conditions. Definitive laboratory testing for IBD is not yet available. This review outlines those metrics that should be considered and monitored, then utilised to make a comprehensive referral to tertiary care for specialist paediatric gastroenterology review. Summaries are provided relating to presenting symptoms, extra-intestinal manifestations (EIMs), and alarm symptoms in order to highlight those reported most frequently. The diagnostic accuracy and importance of interpreting faecal calprotectin (FC) levels, in conjunction with additional measures, are also outlined.
    Conclusions: Diagnostic testing to effectively identify children with IBD without the need for endoscopy is not yet available. Primary care physicians and general paediatricians must, therefore, rely on interpreting a combination of symptoms, laboratory parameters, and risk factors to assess the need for specialist referral and diagnosis.

    Abstract Background: Complementary or alternative medicine (CAM) describes products/practices outside conventional medical care. CAM may be used to support or replace conventional/prescribed therapies. The aim of this study was to determine patterns of CAM use among children attending a tertiary care hospital in New Zealand (NZ) and measure parental opinion about CAM. Methods: Prospective survey-based study among children and their parents attending inpatient and outpatient clinical areas. Surveys collected demographic and health variables, current CAM use, and parental opinions on CAM. Results: Of the 236 children participating: 41% female, mean age 6.8 years (SD5), 76 (32%) with a chronic illness. CAM was used by 132 (56%) children, the most common being: oral supplements, body manipulation methods, or holistic practices. CAM use was associated with lower child health rating (p = 0.001), Māori ethnicity (p = 0.03), parent education level (p = 0.002), and family member CAM use (p < 0.001). Opinion survey results revealed CAM use was most strongly related to doctors recommending CAM, information on CAM, and CAM cost. There was a 31% CAM disclosure rate to the child’s medical team. Conclusions: This study highlights cultural differences in CAM use not previously reported among children in NZ. Parental opinion regarding CAM influences use for their child and disclosure rates.
