Mashup Score: 5A Cross-Sectional Study of Pediatric Feeding Disorder in... : Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition - 11 month(s) ago
d to categorize feeding dysfunction across various domains in children with CF. Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted in children with CF. Data collected included anthropometrics, nutrition data (including need for tube feeding/enteral nutrition [EN] or high-energy beverages, dietary diversity), feeding skills (Pediatric version of the Eating Assessment tool [pEAT]), and psychosocial function (About Your Child’s Eating questionnaire [AYCE] in children 2–17 years of age/Behavioral Pediatric Feeding Assessment Scale [BPFAS] in children 12–23 months of age). PFD was defined as poor oral intake with: (a) pEAT score > 5; and/or (b) AYCE or BPFAS score > 2 standard deviation of normative controls; and/or (c) nutrition dysfunction (body mass index/weight-for-length z score < −1 and/or preference of oral high energy beverages or dependence on EN and/or decreased dietary diversity). Results: Of 103 children in the study, 62 (60.1%) had PFD, 7 children (6.8%) were malnour
