Epidemiologic Assessment of Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Presentation in NYC During COVID-19.

ABSTRACT: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) pathogenesis is thought to be induced by a mix of genetic susceptibility, microbial populations, and immune triggers such as infections. SARS-nCoV2 may have increased capacity to generate autoimmune disease as evidenced by known spikes in diseases such as Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. Public health interventions like masking and closures additionally created remarkable drops in typical viral infections, with remarkable shifts in ILI reporting in 2020. This study aims to evaluate the impact of SARS-nCoV2 and associated interventions on pediatric IBD presentation in NYC using records of new diagnoses at a consortium of four institutions between 2016 and June 2022.
