Decreased Height Velocity in Children and Adolescents Before the Diagnosis of Crohn's Disease

Abstract

Severe linear growth retardation occurs in 20%-30% of children with Crohn's disease, yet, it is unknown how often decreased height velocity precedes the diagnosis. The height velocities of 50 children and prepubescent adolescents with Crohn's disease were reviewed. Decreased height velocity antedated the diagnosis in 44 patients. Twenty-one patients had a reduction in height velocity before intestinal symptoms were noted. Additionally, 17 of 32 patients with attenuated linear growth had a reduction in height velocity before any weight loss. Linear growth impairment in Crohn's disease, more common than previously recognized, may precede weight loss and can be the earliest indicator of disease.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
