Induction-phase infliximab monitoring accelerates time to remission in pediatric IBD: a retrospective cohort study.
Crohn's & colitis 360

Induction-phase infliximab monitoring accelerates time to remission in pediatric IBD: a retrospective cohort study.

Faster remission can reduce symptoms, school disruption, and steroid exposure for children with IBD. If earlier infliximab level checks reliably speed remission, clinicians could adjust dosing sooner to improve outcomes.

Real-world data on clinical response to inflammatory bowel disease biological treatments in patients with concurrent primary sclerosing cholangitis: a case-control study.
Gastroenterology report

Real-world data on clinical response to inflammatory bowel disease biological treatments in patients with concurrent primary sclerosing cholangitis: a case-control study.
