Abstract

Background: Child Abuse is a serious global problem and can be in the form of physical, sexual, emotional or neglect by not providing for the child's needs. Functional Constipation (FC) is a common functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorder in Children. This study was aimed to assess the relationship between Child Abuse and functional Constipation in Children. Materials and Methods In this age frequency-matched case-control study, 100 Children with FC were compared with 100 healthy Children as control. The diagnosis of FC was based on history and physical examination. Child Abuse in three sub-groups (physical, emotional and neglect) were assessed by ISPCAN Child Abuse Screening Tool Children's Version (ICAST-C). The data were analyzed by Stata software (version 13. 0). Results: The results of this study revealed that the frequency of any kind of Child Abuse in case (Children with functional Constipation), and control group (Children without functional Constipation) is 93% and 84%, respectively, OR: 2. 53 (95% CI: 1. 00-6. 45), P=0. 052. The most frequent abuse in both groups was emotional abuse (91% vs. 81%) followed by physical (61% vs. 47%), and neglect (19% vs. 8%). There was a significant association between frequency of emotional (OR: 2. 37, P=0. 046), physical (OR: 1. 76, P=0. 048) and neglect abuse (OR: 2. 70, P=0. 027) among case and control groups. However, after controlling the confounding variables, the association between Child Abuse and FC remained clinically important but was not statistically significant (P>0. 05). Conclusion Notwithstanding emotional abuse, physical abuse and child neglect rate were more frequent among Children with FC, this study demonstrates that Child Abuse is not associated with FC occurrence.
