Intravenous (IV) steroids remain the first-line treatment for patients with acute ulcerative colitis (UC). However, 30% of patients do not respond to steroids, requiring second-line therapy and/or surgery. There are no existing indices that allow physicians to predict steroid nonresponse at admission. We aimed to determine if admission biochemical and endoscopic values could predict response to IV steroids.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) frequently affects women during their reproductive years. Although the impact of pregnancy in patients with established IBD has been widely studied, the characteristics and outcomes of patients who develop a new diagnosis of IBD during pregnancy or the postpartum year (“pregnancy-onset”) is not well characterized.

Hospital readmissions are a burden on patients and families and place financial strain on the health care system. Thirty-day readmission rates for adult patients undergoing colectomy are as high as 30%, and inflammatory bowel disease is a risk factor for readmission. We used a multicenter pediatric surgical database to determine the 30-day readmission rate for pediatric patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) undergoing total abdominal colectomy (TAC) and to identify risk factors for 30-day hospital readmission.

Opioid use is associated with excess mortality in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Recent data have highlighted that inpatient opioid exposure is associated with postdischarge opioid use in this population. It is unknown if preadmission use of cannabis, which is commonly used for symptom relief among patients with IBD, increases the risk for inpatient opioid exposure when patients lack access to cannabis for symptom management. We sought to determine the association between preadmission cannabis use and inpatient opioid exposure while adjusting for relevant confounders.

5-aminosalicylate (5-ASA) medications have a long history of use for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease and continue to be widely prescribed today. The effectiveness of 5-ASAs in ulcerative colitis is clear; however, studies have shown little benefit for induction or maintenance treatment of Crohn disease (CD). We aimed to quantify usage and examine trends in 5-ASA prescription rates in patients with CD.

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have an increased risk for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) and carry significantly higher morbidities and mortality than those without IBD. We aimed to investigate disease-specific readmission rates and independent risk factors for CDI within 90 days of an index hospitalization for an IBD flare.

Fistulas represent a frequent and severe complication in patients with Crohn disease (CD). Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-?), transforming growth factor-beta, and interleukin (IL)-13 are known to trigger epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), promoting fistula formation. Here, we investigated the role of T-lymphocytes (T cells) in fistula pathogenesis.

Inflammatory bowel disease can manifest in many extraintestinal organ systems. The most frequently involved extraintestinal locations include the mucocutaneous, hepatobiliary, and ocular organ systems. The respiratory tract is less commonly involved and is therefore frequently overlooked. Consequently, it is believed that involvement of the respiratory tract in patients with inflammatory bowel disease is underreported. The pathogenesis is thought to be multifactorial, involving the common embryologic origin shared by the respiratory and luminal digestive tract, molecular mimicry, and immunologic interactions leading to immune-complex deposition in affected tissue. The spectrum of manifestations of the respiratory tract related to inflammatory bowel disease is broad. It not only includes direct involvement of the respiratory tract (ie, airways, interstitium, and pleura) but also can result as a consequence of systemic involvement such as in thromboembolic events. In addition, it may also be related to other conditions that affect the respiratory tract such as sarcoidosis and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. Though some conditions related to respiratory tract involvement might be subclinical, others may have life-threatening consequences. It is critical to approach patients with suspected inflammatory bowel disease–related respiratory tract involvement in concert with pulmonology, infectious diseases, and any other pertinent experts, as treatments may require a multidisciplinary overlap of measures. Therefore, it is of paramount importance for the clinician to be aware of the array of respiratory tract manifestations of patients with inflammatory bowel disease, in addition to the possible spectrum of therapeutic measures.

The transport of transepithelial Cl- and HCO3- is crucial for the function of the intestinal epithelium and maintains the acid-based homeostasis. Slc26a3 (DRA), as a key chloride-bicarbonate exchanger protein in the intestinal epithelial luminal membrane, participates in the electroneutral NaCl absorption of intestine, together with Na+/H+ exchangers. Increasing recent evidence supports the essential role of decreased DRA function or expression in infectious diarrhea and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic due to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to unprecedented loss of life and health on a global scale.1 COVID-19 outcomes are more severe among those with comorbid conditions,1 which raises concerns for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), especially given the increased infection risk with immunosuppression used for IBD therapy.

The outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 has resulted in a pandemic affecting millions of individuals. The virus causes a clinical presentation varying from no symptoms to multiorgan failure and death.1, 2 There was initial concern that patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including Crohn disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), would have increased risk for infection and severe outcomes given that treatment often involves immunosuppressants, which increase the risk of various infections

We read with great interest the editorial entitled “Inflammatory Bowel Diseases in Egypt During the COVID-19 Pandemic.” It emphasized the challenges that we have encountered to follow up with patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) during the pandemic. Using telemedicine to follow up with patients is challenging. Most IBD centers did not initially have the experience to apply remote medicine in real practice.1 Fortunately, our expertise in managing IBD during the pandemic has been promising2 and preferred by most patients over the traditional model of care.

I read with great interest the paper by Barash et al1 published recently in this journal with comprehensive analyses of the trends and topics of publications on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) during the last 25 years. When analyzing the top 100 most cited articles, the article showed a dramatic increase in publications related to genetics from 0% in 1992 to 13% in 2016, but a decrease in publications on epidemiology from 12% in 1992 to 2% in 2016. This trend reflects a big problem of fashion-chasing rather than problem-solving in IBD research, as discussed in previous research.2

Drug-induced lupus (DIL) is an autoimmune phenomenon whereby drug exposure leads to development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)-like features. Over 100 drugs are reported to induce DIL. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists are associated with DIL, first reported in rheumatoid arthritis.1 The pathogenesis is uncertain, although there are human leukocyte antigen-associated genetic predispositions and slow acetylating patients with reduction of N-acetyltransferase synthesis.2
