Dissertation

Management of childhood functional constipation in primary care

Functional constipation (FC) is a common condition in children. Physiotherapy added to standard care for childhood FC shows positive results in the hospital. Evidence for the (cost)effectiveness of physiotherapy in primary care is lacking. This dissertation describes the (cost)effectiveness of physiotherapy for childhood FC in primary care, the impact of FC on the quality of life (QoL) of the child, and the prevalence of bladder problems in children with FC.
