Risk factors analysis for small bowel polyp recurrence in children with Peutz‐Jeghers syndrome: A retrospective cohort study
Key Points
Polyp recurrence is more likely with ten or more polyps, along with increased diameter.
Data analysis showed that both factors significantly affect recurrence rates in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.
Retrospective cohort study examined past patient records to identify recurring patterns of polyp growth.
Early screening is crucial for children with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome to monitor and manage polyp growth.
Abstract
Greater polyp number (≥10) and larger polyp diameter are independent risk factors for recurrence. Early screening for polyps is essential, even in asymptomatic PJS patients.
