Abstract

AbstractObjectivesWe aimed to review the literature on fatigue in pediatric inflammatory bowel diseases (PIBD), to explore how it is measured, and approximate its rate in an inception pediatric cohort.MethodsStudies on fatigue were systematically reviewed and selected by two authors. Next, we retrieved the two fatigue‐related questions of the IMPACT‐III questionnaire at 4 and 12 months after diagnosis from a prospectively maintained cohort of PIBD patients, each scoring 0‐100 (lower scores imply more fatigue), and 44 healthy controls.ResultsThe systematic review identified 14 studies reporting fatigue in children, of which nine had fatigue as the primary outcome and only two provided rates of fatigue. No standalone index was identified for measuring fatigue specifically for PIBD. Of 80 children included in the inception cohort, 62 (78%) scored an average of ≤75 on the two IMPACT‐III questions (approximating at least mild fatigue), 26 (33%) scored ≤50 (at least moderate fatigue) and nine (11%) scored ≤25 (severe fatigue). In comparison, only four (9%) healthy children scored at least moderate fatigue (p = 0.007). Fatigue rates at 12 months were only slightly and nonsignificantly lower. Fatigue of any severity was reported in 92% children with active disease versus 63% of those in clinical remission (p = 0.01).ConclusionLiterature reporting on fatigue in PIBD is scarce, and no PIBD‐specific tool is available to measure fatigue. In our cohort, fatigue‐related questions were frequently scored low in children with IBD, mainly among children with active disease but also during clinical remission.
