AI Article Synopsis

  • Thromboembolism is a serious complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), particularly in young patients with active disease, with deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism being the most common forms.
  • IBD creates a prothrombotic environment, meaning that coagulation factors are heightened, increasing the risk of clot formation.
  • Anticoagulation treatment is essential during thromboembolism episodes and may also help improve the overall condition of IBD.

Article Abstract

Thromboembolism represents a severe complication of inflammatory bowel disease occurring in young patient, with active disease. Deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are the most frequent thromboembolism manifestations. Arterial complications and unusual sites for thromboembolism are more rare. Overall, inflammatory bowel disease is a real prothrombotic state as almost all parameters of coagulation are enhanced. Anticoagulation during the episode of thromboembolism is mandatory, and sometimes may ameliorate the course of inflammatory bowel disease.

Unlabelled: In the gut, microRNAs (miRNAs) produced by intestinal epithelial cells are secreted into the lumen and can shape the composition and function of the gut microbiome. Crosstalk between gut microbes and the host plays a key role in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel diseases, yet little is known about how the miRNA-gut microbiome axis contributes to the pathogenesis of these conditions. Here, we investigate the ability of miR-21, a miRNA that we found decreased in fecal samples from IBS patients, to associate with and regulate gut microbiome function.

Background And Aims: The comparative efficacy of advanced therapies to improve health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) in Crohn's disease (CD) is unknown. We aimed to compare the impact of approved advanced therapies for moderate-to-severe CD on HR-QoL.

Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane CENTRAL from inception to December 2023.

Objective: High body mass index (BMI) may reduce ulcerative colitis (UC) treatment efficacy. Etrasimod is an oral, once-daily (QD), selective sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P)1,4,5 receptor modulator for the treatment of moderately to severely active UC. This post hoc analysis assessed treatment outcomes according to BMI in ELEVATE UC 52 and ELEVATE UC 12.

Background: The influence of environmental factors on the severity of early inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), is unclear. Herein, we aimed to investigate the role of environmental factors in the initial phenotype, activity, and severity of IBD.

Methods: Copenhagen IBD Inception Cohort is a prospective population-based cohort of patients with newly diagnosed IBD between May 2021 and May 2023.

Background And Aims: Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are vital in assessing disease activity and treatment outcomes in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, manual extraction of these PROs from the free-text of clinical notes is burdensome. We aimed to improve data curation from free-text information in the electronic health record, making it more available for research and quality improvement.
