Labour market participation and income in patients with IBD onset before young adulthood - the role of disease severity and mental health.

Background And Aim: Only few studies have examined the socioeconomic consequences of being diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in childhood or youth. Disease severity has been linked to lower earnings, but little attention has been paid to comorbid mental health conditions. The aim is to examine labour market participation (LMP) and income in patients with IBD-onset in childhood or youth and examine how disease severity and mental health conditions affects LMP.

Economic Burden of Eosinophilic Esophagitis: A Nationwide Cost-of-Illness Study.

Introduction: Despite its increasing prevalence, the economic impact of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is understudied.

Methods: We estimated the societal economic burden of EoE by using real-world data from Swedish health registers.

Results: Patients with EoE had 45% higher societal cost ($6,290 vs $4,349) compared with the general population, primarily driven by increased healthcare costs ($2,414 vs $1,022), which accounted for 72% of the excess societal cost in EoE.

Stoma-related complications and quality-of-life assessment: A cross-sectional study with patients from Ethiopia and Sweden.

Background: The situation for patients with ostomy can be challenging, probably more in a resource-constrained environment. Our objective was to evaluate quality of life (QoL) (using EQ5D-5L) and stoma-specific QoL (using Stoma QoL) in a high- and low-income setting.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study from the Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital (TASH), Addis Ababa, and South General Hospital (SGH), Stockholm, patients with a permanent or temporary ostomy at TASH (EthioPerm), (EthioTemp), and patients with ostomy at SGH (SweSto) were included in October 2022-January 2023.

Impact of inflammatory bowel disease on the risk of acute coronary syndrome: A Swedish Nationwide Cohort Study.

Background: There are conflicting data on the risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Only a few previous reports include patients diagnosed during the last decade.

Aim: To assess and compare the risk of ACS between patients with IBD and the general population.

PHaLIR: prevent hernia after loop ileostomy reversal-a study protocol for a randomized controlled multicenter study.

Background: Rectal cancer is a common cancer worldwide. Surgery for rectal cancer with low anterior resection often includes the formation of a temporary protective loop ileostomy. The temporary ostomy is later reversed in a separate operation.
