Crohn’s Disease

Modified Multiplier Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn’s Disease or Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn’s Disease thresholds identify risk for disease progression.

Obesity is increasingly prevalent among patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), raising concerns about its potential effects on the natural history of the condition.

While surgery types in Crohn’s disease are associated with mostly comparable outcomes, small bowel resection had greater odds of post-op wound complications.

The researchers of this study evaluated the efficacy of the Bowel Ultrasound Score (BUSS) in predicting long-term endoscopic remission in CD patients.

Multiple factors, including smoking and perianal disease, increase the likelihood of endoscopic postoperative recurrence in Crohn’s disease.

In inflammatory bowel disease, empiric or overall food avoidance increases the risk for food avoidance and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder.

Patients and clinicians generally report suboptimal disease control at lower rates than those determined by Selecting Therapeutic Targets in IBD-II metrics.

Iron deficiency anemia is common in patients with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, but iron supplementation also could be an effective treatment.
