Purpose
Full-time wearing of an orthopedic brace has demonstrated effectiveness in limiting curve progression in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. However, treatment adherence is challenging, with an average wearing time of 13 h/day. Despite this issue, barriers to brace adherence have rarely been studied. The aim of this study was to develop...
Background
Childhood obesity can result in adverse health outcomes. The objectives of this study were to describe the prevalence of obesity and determine the association between obesity at cancer diagnosis and event‐free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) in children diagnosed with cancer in Canada.
Methods
The authors conducted a retrospect...
A 2.5-month-old girl admitted for failure to thrive and severe pancytopenia was diagnosed with methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) secondary to transcobalamin II deficiency, an inborn error of vitamin B12 metabolism. Opportunistic Cytomegalovirus and Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia led to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and immune recon...

Background: Childhood obesity can result in a variety of adverse health outcomes. Objectives were to describe the prevalence of obesity and determine the association between baseline obesity with event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) in children diagnosed with cancer in Canada. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study...
Introduction
Childhood obesity can result in a variety of adverse health outcomes and it has been associated with inferior survival in children and adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). With the rising incidence of childhood obesity in Canada, we seek to assess the prevalence of obesity and its prognostic significance in children and...
Background
Monotherapy with Infliximab (IFX) can be as efficient as combotherapy with immunomodulators in the treatment and maintenance of remission for children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) if an early proactive therapeutic drug monitoring strategy is adequately performed. This strategy may allow optimization of blood levels of IFX in ord...
Background
Crohn's diseaseis an inflammatory bowel disease that has a high incidence in Northern countries. The relapse rate of Crohn's disease one year after diagnosis is around 40 to 50% for all treatment modalities combined. Few risk factors are associated with the risk of relapses of Crohn's disease in children.
Objectives
The aims of this ret...
Background
The natural evolution of Crohn’s disease is incompletely understood in the pediatric population. Data on factors influencing time-to-remission are very limited in the literature.
Objectives
The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to describe the time to clinical remission in children with Crohn’s disease as well as changes over t...
Background
Crohn’s disease (CD) triggers are incompletely understood and the incidence of the disease has been increasing.
Aims
The aims of this study were to describe the trends in the clinical, endoscopic, histological, and laboratory characteristics of pediatric CD during the last decade and to describe the seasonal variation of disease present...
Background
Few risk factors are associated with the risk of relapses of Crohn’s disease in children.
Aims
The aims of this retrospective cohort study were to describe the rate of relapses in children with Crohn’s disease, its evolution over the past decade and to determine risk factors associated with relapse.
Methods
Patients under 18 years old...

Aims
COVID-19 has led to unprecedented public health measures such as school and university closures across the world. While initial surveys show an increase in anxiety, we have little information on the subjective experience of adolescents and young adults (AYAs). The aims of this study were to understand the lived experience and needs of AYAs rel...

Objective:
There is currently little knowledge on factors associated with the relapse of Crohn's disease (CD) in children. The aims of this study were to describe the risk factors associated with relapse in pediatric CD and the changes in the relapse rate over the past decade.
Design:
Patients aged under 18 years old and diagnosed between 2009 a...
Background and Aim
Data on factors influencing time to remission in pediatric Crohn's disease (CD) are very limited in the literature. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to describe the trends of time to clinical remission over the past decade and to identify factors associated with time to clinical remission in children with luminal CD...
Background and aims
The aims of this study were to describe the trends in the behavior of pediatric CD during the last decade and to describe the seasonal variation of disease presentation.
Methods
Patients under 18 years old and diagnosed between 2009 and 2019 were included. The clinical, endoscopic, histological, and laboratory data were collect...
To explore factors influencing adolescents and young adults’ (AYAs) risk perception of COVID-19 and adherence to public health measures, we conducted a cross-sectional online survey of AYAs (14–22 years old) from Quebec (Canada) recruited through school and community partners in April 2020 during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study i...
Background: Low vitamin D level is associated with a higher risk and a more severe course of Crohn’s disease (CD). Varying doses of vitamin D can rapidly alter the serum levels of 25 hydroxy-vitamin D (25OHD). No study specifically addressed whether a supplementation of 25OHD can modulate its long-term level and the relapse rate of CD in children....
