The adjusted multivariate logistic analyses revealed that the risk for CD of the pouch was increased in patients with a family history of CD, with an odds ratio (OR) of 3.22 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.56-6.67), or with a first-degree relative with CD (OR = 4.18, 95% CI, 1.48-11.8), or with a greater number of family members with CD (OR = 2.00 per family member, 95% CI, 1.19-3.37), adjusting for age, gender, smoking status, duration of IBD, duration of having a pouch, and a preoperation diagnosis of indeterminate colitis or CD.
Genome-wide association studies identified the autophagy gene IRGM to be strongly associated with Crohn's disease (CD) but its impact in ulcerative colitis (UC), its phenotypic effects and potential epistatic interactions with other IBD susceptibility genes are less clear which we therefore analyzed in this study.
A retrospective review was performed on consecutive patients with CD receiving vedolizumab at the Penn State Hershey IBD Center between May 2014 and March 2016.
The allele frequencies of six UC-associated and 34 CD-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were determined in a Canadian IBD cohort (n = 2374).
Breast milk specimens from HC [n = 17] and IBD [n = 31 for Crohn's disease [CD]; and n = 41 for ulcerative colitis [UC]; were collected at 3 and 6 months postpartum [PP3] and [PP6], respectively.Faecal samples were also collected.
Inflammatory bowel disease [IBD], including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, is a chronic and unpredictable condition characterised by alternating periods of remission interspersed with relapses.
Electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE/EMBASE classic Cochrane CENTRAL register of controlled trials, the Cochrane IBD Group Specialised Trials Register and Clinicaltrials.gov registry) will be searched to identify all randomised placebo-controlled clinical trials of food and drug administration (FDA)-approved biologics for CD and UC (by March 2016).
Application of the two panels to the validation cohort resulted in accurate classification of 95.9% (IBD from control) and 80% (CD from UC) of patients.
We performed a genetic association study in a large multicentre cohort of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and UC from five European IBD referral centres in a total of 2320 CD patients, 2112 UC patients and 1796 healthy controls.
A total of 382 patients with IBD [Crohn's disease, n = 311, 81%] were included and received either at least one proactive TDM [n = 53] or standard of care [empirical dose escalation, n = 279; reactive TDM, n = 50].
Concurrent diagnosis of EoO and IBD was associated with greater composite risk of IBD-related complications (CD: adjusted HR (aHR) 1.09, p=0.01; UC: aHR 1.10, p=0.04) but lower composite risk of EoO-related complications (aHR 0.59; p<0.01).
This was a cross-sectional survey of adults initiating treatment for Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis (inflammatory bowel disease, IBD) or psoriatic arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis (RA/PA).
Of the 228 patients, 61.0% had Crohn's disease (CD), 30.3% ulcerative colitis and 8.7% IBD-unclassified, with a mdian age at diagnosis of 10.47 years and a male predominance (58.3%); 37.7% of them aged <10 years at diagnosis and 17.5% were very early-onset IBD.
Microbial diversity in pregnant patients with IBD was reduced compared with that in healthy women, and significant differences existed between patients with UC and CD in early pregnancy.
Intestinal fibrosis is an inevitable complication in patients with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD], occurring in its two major clinical manifestations: ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.
Using the MAPMAKER/SIBS program, the segregation of 21 microsatellite marker loci spanning the 4 putative IBD gene loci was analyzed in a study population comprising 161 families with 114 Crohn's disease, 36 ulcerative colitis, and 50 mixed IBD sibling pairs from the Greater Toronto area.
