About this Research Topic
The complex intersection of chronic inflammatory diseases and nutrition in children and adolescents presents significant challenges for healthcare providers. With varying conditions such as neoplasms, inflammatory bowel disease, chronic liver dysfunction, and cystic fibrosis, each scenario demands tailored nutritional strategies to manage severe malnutrition and optimize patient outcomes. Despite recent advancements in medical nutrition therapy, gaps in effectively delivering adequate nutrient supply to this vulnerable group remain, compounded by the multifaceted nature of their underlying diseases.
This Research Topic aims to delve into the efficacies and particularities of nutritional assessments and therapeutic approaches tailored for young patients grappling with these enduring health conditions. By focusing on bridging the gaps between current practices and optimal nutrition management, the research seeks to uncover new insights and develop guidelines that could lead to better health outcomes.
To gather further insights into pediatric nutritional therapy for chronic inflammatory conditions, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
• Factors influencing nutritional needs in children with chronic diseases.
• Strategies for managing malnutrition in pediatric neoplasms.
• Nutrition therapy advancements in inflammatory bowel disease.
• Best practices for diagnosing and managing nutrition in chronic liver dysfunction.
• Effective nutritional interventions for cystic fibrosis and chronic respiratory conditions in adolescents.
