Center for Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Children s Hospital Boston, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA
J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr 52:708-13. 2011..We aimed to assess whether patient-completed Pediatric UC Activity Index (PUCAI) scores are comparable to those of physician scores...
- Late adolescent linear growth pattern in pediatric-onset inflammatory bowel diseaseHelen C Hood
Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Children s Hospital Boston, MA, USA
J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr 53:246-9. 2011..017), respectively. Our data indicate that most patients with IBD attain adult height within normal timing for the population. Hence, early identification of growth impairment is critical to appropriate management in IBD...

Division of Gastroenterology, Children s Hospital Boston, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA
Inflamm Bowel Dis 15:1508-14. 2009..In light of the dramatic success of Crohn's disease (CD) gene discovery efforts, we aimed to characterize the contribution of established common risk variants to pediatric CD...
- Potential role of IGF-1 z score to predict permanent linear growth impairment in children with IBDJessica J Lee
Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition Clinical Research Center, Design and Analysis Core Division of Endocrinology, Boston Children s Hospital, Boston, MA
J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr 58:472-6. 2014..In the absence of significant inflammation and malnutrition, lower IGF-1-for-age z scores may help distinguish patients likely to have permanent growth impairment from those whose growth impairment is likely to be temporary. ..
