Résumé : | Constipation is a common problem during childhood, and 0.7% to 29.6% of children are constipated worldwide (Mugie, Benninga, & Di Lorenzo, 2011). This condition accounts for 3% to 5% of pediatric primary care visits and up to 25% of gastroenterology consultations (Di Lorenzo, 2000, Youssef, Di Lorenzo, 2001). Children presenting to the emergency department with abdominal pain are most often diagnosed with constipation (Caperell, Pitetti, & Cross, 2013). Constipated children have more outpatient and emergency department visits, and their overall annual medical cost is approximately twice as much as that of children without constipation (Choung et al., 2011). Nearly all childhood constipation is functional, but 5% to 10% is due to an organic cause (Youssef & Di Lorenzo, 2001). In contrast to organic causes, functional constipation is not a result of a structural or biochemical abnormality (Lewis, Palsson, Whitehead, & van Tilburg, 2016). |
