Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the characteristics of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in pediatric patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and aimed to identify potential risk factors.
- Among 5009 JIA patients analyzed, 28 developed IBD, primarily Crohn's disease, with a recorded incidence rate of 0.56% over 20 years.
- The findings suggest a higher incidence of IBD in JIA patients compared to the general population, indicate that pretreatment with methotrexate (MTX) may offer protection, and reveal that treatment with etanercept (ETA) does not prevent IBD development.
