Abstract Objectives: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an increasingly prevalent clinical syndrome reflecting a mixture of pathological histology with the potential to progress cryptogenic cirrhosis. Liver biopsy (LB) only way determine severity disease. However, LB invasive, has complications and financial costs. The aim this study benefits early for diagnosis treatment. Methods: A decision tree model tracked outcomes NAFLD between LB‐directed approach vs. no initial LB. Each...
Introduction Targeted immunomodulators (eg, advanced therapies) effectively achieve symptomatic remission in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, ~25%–50% of IBD achieving an therapy may have continued endoscopically/radiologically active inflammation, and it is uncertain whether changing alternative therapies asymptomatic will reduce inflammation durable deep remission. Methods analysis The QUality Outcomes Treating to Target (QUOTIENT) study open-label, multicentre,...

Abstract Background Since 2009, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) specialists have utilized “IBD LIVE,” a weekly live video conference with global audience, to discuss the multidisciplinary management of their most challenging cases. While cases presented were confirmed IBD, substantial number diseases that mimic IBD. We categorized all IBD LIVE and identified “IBD-mimics” consequent clinical implications. Methods Cases been recorded/archived since May 2018; we reviewed 371 from 2018–February...
