Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of biologic therapies in treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients in the Middle East, focusing on biologic-naïve individuals.
- The research analyzed records of 422 patients treated with different biologics (adalimumab, infliximab, ustekinumab, vedolizumab) over a period from October 2017 to October 2023, measuring outcomes like hospitalizations, surgeries, and remission rates.
- Results showed that biologics were effective in achieving remission for both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, indicating that their efficacy in this region is comparable to that seen in Western populations.*
