Upper and small bowel Crohn's disease in Brazilian children: Phenotypic characteristic and surgical risk

Key Points

To characterize the phenotypic features and surgical risk associated with upper and small bowel Crohn's disease in Brazilian children.
Phenotypic data collection from pediatric patients with Crohn's disease
Comparison with phenotypic patterns in Asian pediatric populations
assessment of surgical intervention risks
Phenotypic features in Brazilian children closely resemble those seen in Asian cohorts rather than Caucasian ones
Identified need for improved medical education to enhance early diagnosis and management

Abstract

In LMIC settings, strengthening medical education is essential to improve early recognition of U-SBCD and prevent progression to irreversible complications. Notably, the phenotypic pattern observed in our study more closely resembled that reported in Asian pediatric patients than Caucasian cohorts.
