RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Hirschsprung disease is a congenital intestinal motility disorder characterized by an absence of enteric ganglion cells. Total colonic aganglionosis and near total or total intestinal aganglionosis, defined as absence of ganglion cells in the entire colon and with variable length of small bowel involved, are life-threatening conditions which affect less than 10 % of all patients with Hirschsprung disease. The aim of this project was to develop clinical consensus statements within ERNICA, the European Reference Network for rare congenital digestive diseases, on four major topics: Surgical treatment of total colonic aganglionosis, surgical treatment of total intestinal aganglionosis, management of poor bowel function in total colonic and/or intestinal aganglionosis and long-term management in total colonic and or intestinal aganglionosis. METHODS: A multidisciplinary panel of representatives from ERNICA centers was invited to participate. Literature was searched, using specified search terms, in Medline (ALL), Embase and Google Scholar. Abstracts were screened and full text publications were selected. The panel was divided in four groups that extracted data from the full text publications and suggested draft statements for each of the major topics. A modified Delphi process was used to refine and agree on the statements. RESULTS: The consensus statement was conducted by a multidisciplinary panel of 24 participants from 10 European countries, 45 statements reached consensus after 3 Delphi-rounds. The availability of high-quality clinical evidence was limited, and most statements were based on expert opinion. Another 25 statements did not reach consensus. CONCLUSIONS: Total colonic and total intestinal aganglionosis are rare variants of Hirschsprung disease, with very limited availability of high-quality clinical evidence. This consensus statement provides statements on the surgical treatment, management of poor bowel function and long-term management for these rare patients. The expert panel agreed that patients benefit from multidisciplinary and personalized care, preferably in an expert center. TYPE OF STUDY: Clinical consensus statement. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3a.

RESUMO

This study aimed at evaluating how transition of care is currently being organized in the European Reference Networks (ERNs) health care providers (HCPs) in pediatric areas and in the Anorectal Malformation Network (ARM-Net) Consortium hospitals. An online questionnaire was sent to a total of 80 surgeons, members of or affiliated members of three networks: ARM-Net Consortium, ERN eUROGEN, and ERN ERNICA. Complete information were obtained for 45 HCPs, most of which deal with transition and still see a few adult patients (ca. 10%). Gynecological, gastroenterological, urological, colorectal, and continence issues were the major problems described by adult patients to their physicians, and in line with these prevalent complaints, they are referred to the appropriate adult specialists. Forty percent of patients complain about sexual and fertility problems, but the percentage of andrologists and sexologists involved in the caring of adult patients with ARM/Hirschsprung's disease is low, just above 10.9%. Most hospitals deal with transition, but three basic criteria (i.e., presence of: [1] an official written transitional program, [2] a transitional coordinator, and [3] written information on transition to be handled to patients) are jointly met only by six HCPs. According to the responders, the most important issue requiring improvement is the lack of interest and of specific preparation by adult specialists. The overall results of this exploratory survey confirm the need for the development of comprehensive programs for transition in these rare and complex diseases, and identify the hospitals that, in collaboration with the networks, could share best practices in organizing structured transitional pathways and well follow-ups.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR) is a serious congenital bowel disorder with a prevalence of 1/5000. Currently, there is a lack of systematically developed guidelines to assist clinical decision-making regarding diagnostics and management. AIMS: This guideline aims to cover the diagnostics and management of rectosigmoid HSCR up to adulthood. It aims to describe the preferred approach of ERNICA, the European Reference Network for rare inherited and congenital digestive disorders. METHODS: Recommendations within key topics covering the care pathway for rectosigmoid HSCR were developed by an international workgroup of experts from 8 European countries within ERNICA European Reference Network from the disciplines of surgery, medicine, histopathology, microbiology, genetics, and patient organization representatives. Recommendation statements were based on a comprehensive review of the available literature and expert consensus. AGREE II and GRADE approaches were used during development. Evidence levels and levels of agreement are noted. RESULTS: Thirty-three statements within 9 key areas were generated. Most recommendations were based on expert opinion. CONCLUSION: In rare or low-prevalence diseases such as HSCR, there remains limited availability of high-quality clinical evidence. Consensus-based guidelines for care are presented.
