Disease Monitoring in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Daily Clinical Practice and Impact on Treatment Decision Making: Real World Evidence From the Inflammatory Bowel Disease-PODCAST Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are progressive inflammatory bowel diseases that often result in bowel damage, imposing a significant burden on patients with insufficient disease control due to the limited efficacy of current treatments or complex disease management. There are limited data on how disease monitoring informs treatment decisions in daily clinical practice. The IBD-PODCAST study aimed to estimate the proportion of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis patients experiencing suboptimal disease control in a real-world setting.

Objectives

To evaluate disease monitoring practices and their impact on physicians' actions and treatment decisions for patients with suboptimal disease control.

Methods

A non-interventional cross-sectional
