Background• Chronic constipation -25% of Gastro referrals• Evaluation of colonic motility useful when laxatives/ behavior
modification fails• Slow oro-anal transit time(OTT) found in about half of these
children• Most of these children have motor abnormalities as identified
by colonic manometry studies

Aim of the study• To correlate OTT to CM studies in children with constipation• JPGN Feb 2012• Do Oro-anal Transit Markers Predict Which Children would
Benefit From Colonic Manometry Studies?
![Page 4: Journal Club Do Oro-anal Transit Markers Predict Which Children Would Benefit From Colonic Manometry Studies ST8 paediatric trainee Sheffield Children’s](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cba5503460f94982950/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Methods• Retrospective study• Records of children with constipation who
underwent OTT and CM studies reviewed• OTT study performed using gelatin capsule with 24
markers• Abd Xray taken after day 3 and day 5• On day 5, on X ray, number of markers counted in 3
regions-left colon, right colon and recto-sigmoid• >6 markers/region of colon on day 5 above rectum
significant.

Methods-contd• CM study• Tip of catheter placed beyond the hepatic flexure,
proximal site in rectum• Perfused with 0.45% saline at 0.15 ml/min• Baseline colonic contractions recorded for 1 hr• Mixed solid/liquid meal given.• Contractions recorded for 1 hr postprandial period• Bisacodyl enema infused ,another hr contractions
recorded

Methods contd
• Normal- high amplitude contractions of 60mm of Hg >10sec(HAPC) in aboral fashion
• Non propagative if contractions low amp/absent• the presence of a gastro-colonic response, a
20% increase in the postprandial motility .

Clinical characteristics of children with slow andnormal OTT
![Page 9: Journal Club Do Oro-anal Transit Markers Predict Which Children Would Benefit From Colonic Manometry Studies ST8 paediatric trainee Sheffield Children’s](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cba5503460f94982950/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Results
Example of slow oro-anal transit time (OTT) study and colon manometry (CM) tracings. A, OTT demonstrates retention of >8 markers at 5 days post-capsule ingestion and markers are scattered throughout the left colon. B, Normal CMtracing shows high-amplitude propagating contractions (HAPC) propagating from the cecum to distal sigmoid colon. C, CMtracing in subject with x-ray from panel A that shows an HAPC but with arrest at the distal transverse colon.

Results• No statistical difference in clinical characteristics between
normal and slow transit time
![Page 11: Journal Club Do Oro-anal Transit Markers Predict Which Children Would Benefit From Colonic Manometry Studies ST8 paediatric trainee Sheffield Children’s](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062515/56649cba5503460f94982950/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Findings of OTT testing• 5 children had normal OTT 4 had no markers and 5th- had 3 markers in rectum• 19 children had slow OTT 5 had markers that failed to progress
beyond right colon 7 had markers that failed to progress
beyond left colon 7 had diffuse distribution of markers.

Findings of Colonic manometry testing• Fifteen had normal study and • 9 had abnormal study• no HAPCs in response to bisacodyl (3), • segmental arrest of the HAPCs at the right colon (4),• and segmental arrest of HAPCs at the
splenic flexure (2).

Correlation of OTT and CM study
• All 5 with normal OTT had normal CM study
• Of the 19 abnormal ones• 5 had right sided markers 2 had normal CM 3 had left sided colonic pseudo obs (2 myopathic,1neuropathic)

Conclusion• Assessment of oro-anal transit time is important in chronic
constipation• Helps guide us to those who need CM• A normal OTT precludes use of CM,so long as a larger
prospective study proves the same!• Until larger prospective study completed , colon motility study
should be used in refractory constipation

Conclusion• OTT is not a substitute for CM testing for neuromuscular
function.
