NEWs
Improved Screening for GI Symptoms
To help paediatricians and general practitioners to better
diagnose and manage common gastrointestinal (GI)
symptoms more easily, Abbott and leading paediatric
experts around the world have developed a new paediatric
screening tool, the Gastrointestinal Problem Solver (GPS).
This tool comprises five algorithms to address the most
frequent feeding issues in
infants: infant regurgitation,
fussiness or gassiness,
constipation, infantile colic and
cow’s milk protein allergy – and
has been endorsed by the ASEA
Paediatric Federation. It allows
healthcare practitioners to hone
in on an accurate diagnosis
and develop an appropriate
treatment plan, with the aid of an in-depth patient profiler
with recommended nutritional modifications for each of
the five common intolerance issues.
Said Prof Lee Bee Wah, Visiting Senior Consultant
Paediatrician, Children’s Medical Institute, National
University Hospital, “The goal of the new screening tool
is to provide doctors with a standard benchmark of care
in the diagnosis and management of these common
symptoms of feeding intolerance.” In an early 2013 study
conducted by Abbott, a survey of over 3,000 Singaporean
parents and 112 doctors showed that GI symptoms are a
significant source of stress for parents here.
