What is the diagnostic value of the history taking and the physical examination in diagnosing chronic idiopathic constipation in newborns, infants and children?

PICO question:

What is the diagnostic value of the history taking and the physical examination in diagnosing chronic idiopathic constipation in newborns, infants and children?

Patients/Population

Neonates (newborns), infants and all children up to their 18th birthday

Intervention/Exposure

-: History taking: passage of meconium, stool patterns, timing of onset of constipation & potential precipitating factors, growth and general well being, locomotor development, diet and fluid intake, social factors, abdominal distension, vomiting, retentive posturing, overflow soiling, straining, pain on defecation, bleeding with defecation, anal fissure, painful bowel movements, poor appetite
-: Physical examination: abdominal examination, abdominal mass, abdominal distension, spine/lumbosacral region/gluteal examination, perianal area inspection, anal fissure, height and weight, faltering growth, lower limb neuromuscular examination including tone, strength and reflexes

Control

Abdominal X-ray

Abdominal ultrasound

Colonic transit time

Gastrointestinal endoscopy

Anorectal manometry

Rectal biopsy

Outcomes

Diagnosis of constipation

Accurate diagnosis of constipation

Differential diagnosis of constipation

Sensitivity, specificity

What is the effectiveness of dietary and lifestyle modifications in improving constipation in neonates, infants and all children up to their 18th birthday diagnosed with idiopathic constipation?

PICO question:
What is the effectiveness of dietary and lifestyle modifications in improving constipation in neonates, infants and all children up to their 18th birthday diagnosed with idiopathic constipation?

Patients/Population

Neonates (newborns), infants and all children up to their 18th birthday diagnosed with idiopathic constipation

Intervention/Exposure

Increasing fluids intake
Increasing physical activity/exercise
Increasing fibre intake: Dried or fresh fruits, fruit juices, vegetables, cereals, bran, dihydroxyphenyl isatin (laxating part of prunes), prebiotics, oligosaccharides, fructooligosaccarides (FOS) (found in garlic, leek and onion), Inulin (found in bananas, onions, garlic, asparagus and tomatoes.)
Supplements: Benefiber (partially hydrolysed guar gum), glucomannan, iron, pectin
Infant's formulas: Prebiotics, oligosaccharides, partially hydrolysed whey protein, casein, whey hydrolysates
Omega 3 fish oils
Chocolate
Low fat / high fat diet
Dairy free diet
Soy milk
Sheep milk

Control

Usual / “normal” fluids intake
Usual/ “normal” physical activity
Usual / “normal” diet

Outcomes

Changes in frequency of bowel movements
Changes in stools consistency/appearance
Changes in pain/difficulty on passing stools
Changes in frequency of episodes of soiling
Reduction in laxative
Parent/child views/satisfaction or Quality of Life
