“…A study from Saudi Arabia showed that DRE was routinely performed in the evaluation of children with constipation by only 39% of pediatric providers compared with 79% of pediatric gastroenterologists (16). Similarly, a study from Brazil demonstrated that only 43% of nongastroenterology pediatricians performed a DRE (17). In the study by Focht et al (10), 43% of the US pediatricians reported either never or only occasionally performing a DRE on new patients presenting with constipation.…”
