摘要
Background: Colonoscopy of the lower gastrointestinal tract has diagnostic and therapeutic value. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the indications, complications, and diagnostic yield of diagnostic colonoscopy among Taiwanese children. Methods: The application of colonoscopy performed on children aged < 18 years between 1998 and 2010 in a referral tertiary center in Southern Taiwan was reviewed. Data on age, gender, indications, complications, and colonoscopic and final diagnoses were collected and analyzed. Results: One hundred and ninety-two children with 201 colonoscopies and 27 sigmoidoscopies were enrolled. The rate of successful ileocecal approach was 77.5%. The most common indication was lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB; 53.5%), followed by chronic abdominal pain (20.6%), iron deficiency anemia (IDA; 11.8%), and chronic diarrhea (11.4%). There were 144 patients (75%) with a conclusive diagnosis in their first colonoscopy, including nonspecific colitis (23.4%), polyp (20.4%), and inflammatory bowel disease (8.3%). The diagnostic yields of colonoscopy according to the major indications were 77.3% in LGIB, 68.1% in chronic abdominal pain, 66.7% in IDA, and 79.2% in chronic diarrhea. Among the patients with LGIB, juvenile polyp (26.4%) was the most common etiology. There were no major procedure-related complications. Conclusion: LGIB is the most common indication for pediatric colonoscopy. Pediatric colonoscopy is most effective in diagnosing pediatric LGIB and chronic diarrhea.
