Inflammatory bowel disease has a high incidence and prevalence especially in young individuals their reproductive years. Trying to conceive being pregnant is an emotional period for those involved. In the majority of patients suffering from inflammatory disease, maintenance therapy required during pregnancy control might necessitate introduction new drugs vulnerable period. Therefore, management with wish requires specialized counselling appropriate including multidisciplinary approach close...

The long-term safety of exposure to anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNFα) drugs during pregnancy has received little attention. We aimed compare the relative risk severe infections in children mothers with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who were exposed anti-TNFα utero that not drugs.Retrospective multicenter cohort study. Exposed cohort: from IBD receiving medication (with or without thiopurines) at any time 3 months before conception. Non-exposed treated agents thiopurines cumulative...

Summary Background Women with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) often receive biologicals during pregnancy to maintain disease remission. Data on outcome of vedolizumab‐exposed pregnancies (VDZE) are sparse. Aims To assess and child outcomes VDZE compare these results anti‐TNF exposed (TNFE) or both immunomodulatory biologic unexposed (CON IBD) pregnancies. Methods A retrospective multicentre case‐control observational study was performed. Results group included 79 in 73 IBD women. The TNFE...

However, one‐third patients do not respond to treatment. We have previously investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms SNP s) in genes involved inflammation were associated with response anti‐ therapy among or . Aim A new cohort was established replication previous findings identify s response. Methods Fifty‐three...

Noninvasive biomarkers of inflammation for monitoring inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are important in pregnancy. Clinical and laboratory markers often affected by the physiological adaption that occurs during pregnancy, although, few, if any, data exist on fecal calprotectin (FC). We investigated FC concentrations pregnant controls IBD women, whether correlated with physician global assessment (PGA), C-reactive protein (CRP), Harvey-Bradshaw Index (HBI)/Simple Colitis Activity (SCCAI)...

Evidence on ustekinumab safety in pregnancy is gradually expanding, but its clearance the postnatal period unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate concentrations umbilical cord blood and rates after birth, as well how these correlate with maternal drug concentrations, risk infection, developmental milestones during first year life.

Abstract Background A core outcome set (COS) for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) was recently developed through a multi-stakeholder consensus in the Health Outcomes Observatory (H2O) project.(1) Recognizing importance of data visualisation enhancing management, H2O website now provides population-level dashboard to track quality and key performance indicators.(2) Patient-level dashboards are designed support both healthcare providers (HCPs) by facilitating individual health...

Abstract Background The pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of vedolizumab during pregnancy is not fully characterised, though concentrations have been reported to drop1.To minimise transplacental transfer, discontinuation in the 3rd trimester has suggested, but this may lead flare IBD and postpartum2. This study aimed characterise changes PK using mathematical modelling explore dosing scenarios guide decisions on 3rd-trimester dosing. Methods A multicenter, prospective, observational was conducted...

Abstract Background Food-related quality of life (FRQoL) is the enjoyment experienced from psychosocial aspects eating and drinking. FRQoL may be altered in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Meanwhile, often change their diet following diagnosis. We aimed to describe dietary choices IBD using validated questionnaires identify potential predictors impaired FRQoL. Methods This was a cross-sectional, single-centre survey. The FR-QoL-291 belief2 were forward-backwards translated...

Women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may have decreased sexual function. To understand how common this condition is in our female patients, we developed a new IBD-specific Female Sexual Dysfunction Scale (the IBD-FSDS). We performed prospective cross-sectional study of 454 IBD patients ≥18 years age attending 1 3 clinics the United States or Denmark. gathered information on function via de novo 23-item scale. General functioning was measured Function Index (FSFI) and Distress...

Objective In utero exposure to maternal inflammation may impact immune system development and subsequent risk of disease. We investigated whether a diagnosis IBD before childbirth is linked higher in offspring compared with after childbirth. Further, we analysed paternal status for comparison. Design Using Danish health registers, identified all individuals born Denmark between 1997 2022 their legal parents, as well status. Cox proportional hazards regression analyses adjusted calendar...

Objective: In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), adherence to both medical treatment and other aspects of care has a substantial impact on the course disease. Most studies have reported that 30–45% patients with IBD were non-adherent. Our study aimed investigate different identify predictors non-adherence, including quality care, for outpatients IBD.Materials methods: An anonymous electronic questionnaire was used adherence, patient involvement shared decision making among 377...
