Background And Aims: Multiple factors are suggested to place Crohn's disease patients at risk of recurrence after ileocolic resection with conflicting associations. We aimed to identify clinical predictors of recurrence at first [early] and further [late] postoperative colonoscopy.
Methods: Crohn's disease patients undergoing ileocolic resection were prospectively recruited at six North American centres.
Article Synopsis
- The study surveyed 2,661 breast cancer patients in Chicago between July and September 2020 to assess their psychosocial well-being and any financial challenges or treatment disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Findings revealed increased feelings of isolation among patients, with about one-third facing financial issues, particularly affecting Black Medicaid recipients, and 25% having difficulties accessing treatment.
- The research highlights the negative impact of the pandemic on the quality of life for patients with breast cancer and calls for greater support from medical centers and the research community during these challenging times.
