Introduction: Endoscopy plays a fundamental role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and becomes essential in diagnosis, treatment monitoring, and detection and management of complications.
Materials And Methods: The Pan American Crohn's and Colitis Organization (PANCCO) and the Inter-American Society of Endoscopy (SIED) appointed 22 Latin American experts in IBD to develop a consensus study using the modified Delphi method, based on the best available evidence. A working group of 22 members from 9 countries identified 15 topics and formulated 98 statements, who participated in 2 rounds of voting.

Article Synopsis
- The Brazilian Organization for Crohn's Disease and Colitis (GEDIIB) created a national registry to study factors linked to the severity of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) among Brazilian patients.
- The study included 1,179 patients, primarily diagnosed with ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's Disease (CD), and found that many had extensive disease, with a significant portion needing biologic treatments.
- Factors like age, disease extent, and certain complications increased the severity of IBD, particularly for those with extensive colitis or specific disease behaviors.

Background: Inflammatory bowel diseases are immune-mediated disorders that include Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). UC is a progressive disease that affects the colorectal mucosa causing debilitating symptoms leading to high morbidity and work disability. As a consequence of chronic colonic inflammation, UC is also associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an immune-mediated disorder that includes Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis. CD is characterized by a transmural intestinal involvement from the mouth to the anus with recurrent and remitting symptoms that can lead to progressive bowel damage and disability over time.
Objective: To guide the safest and effective medical treatments of adults with CD.
Background: Evidence indicates that inflammation in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is associated with increased systemic levels of reactive oxygen species. Systemic oxidative stress has been associated with reduced levels of plasma thiols. Less invasive tests capable of reflecting and predicting IBD activity are increasingly sought after.
