PEDIATRIC INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE
DIAGNOSTICS, TREATMENT AND PSYCHOSOCIAL CONSEQUENCES
1. A substantial number of children with Crohn’s disease would have been misdiagnosed if endoscopy of the upper gastrointestinal tract had not been performed (this thesis)
2. Current up-to-date imaging techniques cannot replace endoscopy in the diagnostic work-up of children with suspected inflammatory bowel disease (this thesis) 3. Infliximab is an effective therapy in children with refractory Crohn’s disease, but duration of effect is limited (this thesis)
4. Insufficient response to oral maintenance treatment that is actually due to non-adherence can lead to unnecessary escalation in therapy (this thesis)
5. The psychosocial developmental trajectory of adolescents growing up with inflammatory bowel disease is delayed in comparison with their peers (this thesis) 6. Higher levels of perceived parental and friend support are correlated with better health-related quality of life (this thesis)
7. Le petit d’homme n’est pas simplement un petit homme (Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 1712-1778)
8. Only the impossible lasts forever; with time, it is made accessible (Djuna Barnes, Nightwood 1936)
9. Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans (John Lennon, 1940-1980)
