Topic overview
Children with colorectal diseases such as anorectal malformations (ARM), Hirschsprung disease (HD), and functional constipation (FC) undergo bowel management programs (BMPs) to achieve cleanliness. While patient outcomes, such as cleanliness and quality of life, are well understood, patient experience, such as relationships, ability to participate in sports, and independence and self-confidence is less well understood. We aimed to assess the relationship between BMP and patient experience.
