Health-related quality of life after diagnosis of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease: 3-year trajectories and factors associated with clinically meaningful improvement (the IBSEN III cohort)
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

Health-related quality of life after diagnosis of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease: 3-year trajectories and factors associated with clinically meaningful improvement (the IBSEN III cohort)

This study follows people from diagnosis and shows that about half achieve clinically meaningful improvements in quality of life by 3 years, but many remain below general population norms.

Prior Ustekinumab Exposure and Ulcerative Colitis Are Associated with Suboptimal Trough Levels in Patients Receiving Advanced-Line Vedolizumab or Ustekinumab for Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Cross-Sectional Cohort Study

Patients on biologic therapy often have drug levels and antidrug antibodies measured to guide care. This study suggests prior biologic history, disease type (UC vs CD) and which biologic is currently used may affect...

Bilirubin statistically accounts for the association between Enterobacterales lineage and Mayo endoscopic score in ulcerative colitis: a cross-sectional associational variable analysis

The paper suggests serum bilirubin levels statistically explain a meaningful fraction of the link between gut Enterobacterales abundance and endoscopic disease activity in UC, which may point to biologic pathways or...

Associations between redox-related biomarkers and treatment response in patients with inflammatory bowel disease initiating infliximab or vedolizumab

The study explores whether blood redox biomarkers relate to short- and long-term response to infliximab or vedolizumab, which could help predict who benefits from these biologics. It also suggests a link between...

Automated Lewis Score Estimation for Small Bowel Crohn Disease Using Capsule Endoscopy: Retrospective Cohort Study.

Automated Lewis score estimation could make capsule endoscopy readings faster and more consistent, which may help track small-bowel Crohn disease activity. This study shows preliminary feasibility but not readiness for...

Prediction of incident inflammatory bowel disease from routine electronic health records: development and external validation of a longitudinal machine learning model

Earlier identification of people likely to develop IBD could shorten diagnostic delays that are linked to worse outcomes, and an automated EHR model might help target who should get earlier evaluation.

Long-term comparative effectiveness of first-line infliximab vs corticosteroids in ulcerative colitis: Remission and colectomy risk
World Journal of Gastroenterology

Long-term comparative effectiveness of first-line infliximab vs corticosteroids in ulcerative colitis: Remission and colectomy risk

The study suggests that using infliximab as first-line therapy (rather than IV corticosteroids) may produce more durable remission and reduce long-term colectomy risk in moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis.

An Open-Label Extension and Long-term Efficacy and Safety Monitoring Study of Patients With Crohn's Disease Previously Included in the Loss of RESponse to Ustekinumab Treated by Dose Escalation Study

This OLE study follows patients who lost response to ustekinumab every-8-week dosing and evaluates whether increasing to every-4-week dosing maintains efficacy and safety long-term. That question is directly relevant to...

Clinical Study to Evaluate the Possible Efficacy of Nifuroxazide in Patient With Ulcerative Colitis

This trial tests whether adding the oral antibiotic nifuroxazide to standard mesalamine improves quality of life for people with mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis. Results, if published, could suggest a new adjunctive...

Bedside analysis of volatile organic compounds in exhaled human breath as non-invasive diagnostic tool for colon diseases.

A breath-based VOC test could offer a noninvasive, point-of-care way to help detect or screen for colon diseases including IBD. This study shows preliminary promise—especially for ulcerative colitis—but is early-stage...

Time trends in patients with ulcerative colitis and crohn's disease not receiving IBD-specific pharmacological treatment within one and three years of diagnosis - a nationwide cohort study.

A sizable minority of people newly diagnosed with IBD—about 1 in 5 with Crohn’s and 1 in 10 with ulcerative colitis—received no IBD-specific drugs within the first year. Understanding who is untreated and why could...
