{"doi":"10.1111/nmo.14777","title":"Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder prevalence is high in children with gastroparesis and functional dyspepsia","abstract":"BACKGROUND: Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) prevalence in children with gastroparesis (Gp) and/or functional dyspepsia (FD) is unknown. We aimed to identify ARFID prevalence and trajectory over 2 months in children with Gp, FD, and healthy children (HC) using two screening questionnaires. We also explored the frequency of a positive ARFID screen between those with/without delayed gastric emptying or abnormal fundic accommodation. METHODS: In this prospective longitudinal study conducted at an urban tertiary care hospital, patients ages 10-17 years with Gp or FD and age- and gender-matched HC completed two validated ARFID screening tools at baseline and 2-month follow-up: the Nine Item ARFID Screen (NIAS) and the Pica, ARFID, and Rumination Disorder Interview-ARFID Questionnaire (PARDI-AR-Q). Gastric retention and fundic accommodation (for Gp and FD) were determined from gastric emptying scintigraphy. KEY RESULTS: At baseline, the proportion of children screening positive for ARFID on the NIAS versus PARDI-AR-Q was Gp: 48.5% versus 63.6%, FD: 66.7% versus 65.2%, HC: 15.3% versus 9.7%, respectively; p < 0.0001 across groups. Of children who screened positive at baseline and participated in the follow-up, 71.9% and 53.3% were positive 2 months later (NIAS versus PARDI-AR-Q, respectively). A positive ARFID screen in Gp or FD was not related to the presence/absence of delayed gastric retention or abnormal fundic accommodation. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES: ARFID detected from screening questionnaires is highly prevalent among children with Gp and FD and persists for at least 2 months in a substantial proportion of children. Children with these disorders should be screened for ARFID.","journal":"Neurogastroenterology & Motility","year":2024,"id":437971,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":10,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9637,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2024-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":779199,"name":"Helen Burton Murray","orcid":"0000-0003-2059-3256","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":405442,"name":"Salma Musaad","orcid":"0000-0003-1733-830X","position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1132393,"name":"Yiming Mirabile","orcid":null,"position":3,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":452007,"name":"Danita I.
