A team of investigators sought to determine the influence of infliximab on gut bacterial and fungal composition in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
As Crohn disease perianal fistulas often do not respond to available treatments, researchers developed a patient-derived quality-of-life tool to evaluate the impact of the condition on patients.
Investigators assessed the Controlling Nutritional Status’ (CONUT’s) efficacy in predicting postoperative complications in patients with Crohn disease.
Although the emergence of COVID-19 initially called the continuation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) therapy into question, treatment has proceeded — albeit with added considerations.
