Growth impairment in Japanese children with inflammatory bowel disease: A multicenter prospective cohort study
Distinct growth patterns exist in Japanese children with IBD. Children with UC diagnosed at 0-4 years are particularly vulnerable and may benefit from early, steroid-sparing treatment. The association between small intestinal lesions and GI in CD emphasizes the importance of small bowel evaluation. Age-specific, patient-centered growth monitoring is crucial to optimize long-term outcomes.
