Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Are currently recommended treatments of childhood constipation evidence based : a systematic literature review on the effect of laxative treatment and dietary measures?
Answer: Insufficient evidence exists supporting that laxative treatment is better than placebo in children with constipation. Compared to all other laxatives, PEG achieved more treatment success, but results on defecation frequency were conflicting. Based on the results of this review, we can give no recommendations to support one laxative over the other for childhood constipation.
Output (English): no
