Proportion of inflammatory bowel diseases patients with suboptimal disease control in daily clinical practice-Real-world evidence from the inflammatory bowel diseases-podcast study.

Background: Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis (UC) are inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) characterized by a progressive nature of the disease resulting in subsequent intestinal damage, limited efficacy of current treatments and suboptimal disease management and a significant burden for patients.

Objectives: The IBD-PODCAST study aims to estimate the proportion of Crohn's disease and UC patients with suboptimal disease control (SDC) in a real-world setting.

Methods: A non-interventional and cross-sectional study was conducted across 103 sites in 10 countries (Austria, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, and UK).

IBD-PODCAST Spain: A Close Look at Current Daily Clinical Practice in IBD Management.

Background: Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) that contributes in part to irreversible bowel damage and long-term complications, reduced quality of life, invalidity, and economic burden. Suboptimal control of IBD is associated with higher healthcare resource utilization (HCRU), impaired quality of life (QoL), and reduced work productivity.

Aims: The IBD-PODCAST study aimed to assess the proportion of IBD patients with suboptimal control and its associated impact.
