Article Synopsis
- Limited data exist on the outcomes of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in patients who undergo solid organ transplantation (SOT), and this study examines both pre-existing IBD and newly developed IBD post-transplant.
- The study included 177 patients, of which 106 had pre-existing IBD, and found that 32% of these patients experienced disease progression after a median of 2.2 years, while 55% of those with de novo IBD progressed within 1.9 years.
- Key risk factors for progression in pre-existing IBD included having active disease at the time of SOT and extraintestinal manifestations, indicating a significant impact on patient outcomes post-transplant.*
Background And Study Aims: Our aim was to determine the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on the diagnosis and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC).
Patients And Methods: This prospective cohort study included individuals diagnosed with CRC between March 13, 2019 and June 20, 2021 across 21 Spanish hospitals. Two time periods were compared: prepandemic (from March 13, 2019 to March 13, 2020) and pandemic (from March 14, 2020 to June 20, 2021, lockdown period and 1 year after lockdown).
