What this Trial Is About
Children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, are at risk of malnutrition which can affect their health and disease progression. This research evaluates how well an existing nutritional screening tool called the Paediatric Yorkhill Malnutrition Score (PYMS), commonly used at hospital admission for sick children, identifies those with IBD who need nutritional care. If PYMS is not effective, the study aims to develop a new nutrition risk score specifically for children with IBD, called the Paediatric IBD Nutrition Score (PIBD-NUTS). The study involves using the PYMS tool on pediatric patients with IBD who attend both outpatient and inpatient hospital clinics across different international settings. This observational study does not involve treatment but focuses on assessing the screening tool's performance over one year. If needed, the study will also work on creating and validating the new PIBD-NUTS tool. Participants will have their nutritional risk assessed using the PYMS tool during their hospital visits. Researchers will monitor how well the tool detects malnutrition risk in children with IBD. The main measurement is the tool's effectiveness at identifying at-risk patients over a one-year period. The study runs until December 2026 and includes children aged 4 to 18 years with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
