Abstract Background Limited comparative data is available on the real-world effectiveness and safety of tofacitinib (TOFA) upadacitinib (UPA) in ulcerative colitis (UC). Methods We conducted an international, multicenter, real-life retrospective cohort study to assess compare short-term TOFA UPA bio-experienced, moderate-to-severe UC. The primary outcome was week 12 corticosteroid-free remission (CSFR) defined as clinical (CR; partial Mayo score [pMayo]<2 with a rectal bleeding...
Abstract Background Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) require lifelong treatment and patient monitoring. Current predictors of relapse therapeutic success have limitations, mostly invasive, time-consuming, expensive. The faecal biomarker can help in disease activity response monitoring by simple non-invasive way. Faecal Calprotectin (FC) is the gold-standard, but it has many disadvantages. We previously described that correlation between Plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) (FP)...
Abstract Background High-quality endoscopy in IBD is associated with better clinical outcomes, while quality measurement supports effective control. The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy recommends using nine performance measures, depending on the indication for endoscopic examination IBD. Our study aimed to compare colonoscopy between tertiary and secondary referral centers patients, based reports. Methods In this cross-sectional study, reports patients were analyzed. At our...
Abstract Background There is a constant search for non-invasive evaluation methods the identification of fibrosis in patients treated Crohn’s disease, since this condition can severely impact patients’ quality life long run. While PET/CT mostly used oncological evaluation, it was previously proved that be useful inflammation associated with disease activity, segmental FDG uptake proportional immune cell infiltration bowel. However, it’s role detection needs further evaluation. Our aim to...
Abstract Background Perianal involvement affects approximately 20-30% of Crohn’s Disease patients, significantly impairing their quality life. Anti-tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors (anti-TNFs) are still the established biological treatment for perianal Crohn's disease (pCD). However, relapse and non-response frequent evidence regarding effectiveness 2nd- 3rd-line biologics is limited. This study aims to compare efficacy in patients with pCD who have previously failed 1st-line anti-TNF...
Abstract Background Bowel urgency is one of the most bothersome symptoms ulcerative colitis (UC). The Urgency Numerical Rating Scale (U-NRS) measures degree faecal experienced over past 24 hours by patients with UC on a scale 0-10. We assumed that has large variance, as evaluate their own differently. urge may be different quality for two same score. score U-NRS influenced individual’s specific perception (degree pain, speed urge). objective our study was to investigate possible components...
Abstract Background Biosimilars are highly similar to the already approved reference biological medication, and potentially more accessible widespread due better cost-effectiveness. However, both effectiveness immunogenicity may differ structure characteristics. In 2020, non-medical switch was obligated from originator infliximab (IFX) biosimilar GP1111 amongst inflammatory bowel disease (IBD, Crohns’s [CD], ulcerative colitis [UC]) patients in Hungary. As data regarding lacking IBD, thus we...
A rectovaginalis fistula a penetráló Crohn-betegség ritka szövődménye, jelenléte esetén gyógyszeres kezelés és sebészeti beavatkozás együttes alkalmazása javasolt. Habár perianalis sipollyal szövődött TNFα-blokkolók hatékonyak lehetnek, kisebb hatékonyság mutatkozik, feltehetően anatómiai okok, valamint gyulladás talaján megváltozott szövetekbe történő csökkent penetrációs készség miatt. Az újabb biologikumok kis molekulájú szerek hatékonyságáról biztonságosságáról Crohn-betegségben kevés...
