No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This multicenter prospective observational non-pharmacological study aims to evaluate resting energy expenditure (REE) in pediatric patients affected by inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. REE will be measured using indirect calorimetry and estimated using predictive equations. The study also aims to investigate the relationship between REE, disease activity, and dietary or pharmacological treatments. Clinical, laboratory, anthropometric, nutritional, and disease activity data will be collected during routine clinical follow-up at diagnosis, after induction therapy, and during follow-up visits.

Conditions

  • Crohn Disease Colitis
  • Colitis, Ulcerative
  • Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Indirect Calorimetry

Resting energy expenditure (REE) assessment performed using indirect calorimetry in pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease during routine clinical follow-up. Measurements are obtained under resting conditions after fasting and are used to evaluate energy metabolism and its relationship with disease activity and treatments.
