Optimizing maternal and neonatal outcomes through tight control management of inflammatory bowel disease during pregnancy: a pilot feasibility study.

ABSTRACT: A home point-of care FCP test (IBDoc) and a self-reported clinical disease activity program (IBD Dashboard) may improve routine monitoring of IBD activity during pregnancy. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of tight control management using remote monitoring in pregnant patients with IBD. Pregnant patients (< 20 weeks) with IBD were prospectively enrolled from Mount Sinai Hospital between 2019 and 2020. Patients completed the IBDoc and IBD Dashboard at three core time points. Disease activity was measured clinically using the Harvey-Bradshaw Index (mHBI) for CD and partial Mayo (pMayo) for UC, or objectively using FCP. A feasibility questionnaire was completed in the third trimester. Seventy-seven percent of patients (24 of 31) completed the IBDoc and IBD Dashboard at all core time poin
