Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome Among Montreal Children, 2021-2025

Supplementary material for a study on food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) among children in Montreal. The dataset includes 87 children aged 1 month to 13 years, enrolled between November 2021 and April 2025. It was collected by researchers at the Montreal Children’s Hospital and an affiliated clinic to evaluate sociodemographic characteristics, comorbidities, triggers, and symptom resolution.

Use Cases

• Analyze common FPIES triggers based on the reported list of egg, shellfish, milk, fish, peanut, oat, fruit, soy/grains, and rice.
• Study symptom profiles based on the described reactions including vomiting, lethargy, pallor, diarrhea, dehydration, and abdominal pain.
• Investigate tolerance to baked goods based on the finding that baked forms of triggers were often tolerated.
• Track resolution rates of FPIES based on the reported triggers that resolved, such as egg, milk, oat, soy/grains, peanut, and shellfish.

Strengths

• Includes data on 87 pediatric patients with a confirmed history of FPIES.
• Provides a multi-year follow-up period from 2021 to 2025.
• Reports specific demographic information, such as 45% of patients being male.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single-city study in Montreal.
