    Variation in Care for Children With Esophageal Varices: A Study of Physicians', Patients', and Families' Approaches and Attitudes
    (LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2011) Cristobal Gana, Juan; Valentino, Pamela L.; Morinville, Veronique; O'Connor, Constance; Ling, Simon C.
    Background and Aims: Inadequate evidence to guide the management of children with esophageal varices may lead to variation in care and the provision of poor-quality care to some children. The aims of the study were to describe approaches taken by pediatric gastroenterologists for the management of esophageal varices in children, and to determine the attitudes of children, parents, and physicians toward screening endoscopy for identification of varices.
