Preventing surgical complications — lessons from Brazil: consider importance of timely surgery Paulo G. Kotze #AIBD2021 @IBDConference

It's not all about biologics: poor nutritional status, preoperative steroids, abdominal abscess, anemia and bowel obstruction lead to surgical complications Paulo G. Kotze #AIBD2021 @IBDConference

IBD in underserved populations in US: disparities in access, fewer biologic prescriptions, less representation in clinical trials and worse outcomes —> we can do better! Maria T. Abreu #AIBD2021 @IBDConference

IBD epidemiology around the globe: how did we transition from sporadic cases to millions (and climbing)? Gil Kaplan MD MPH #AIBD2021 @IBDConference

Challenges in Clinical Practice Clinical pearl #1 per Miguel Regueiro: an abscess above a stricture can be drained Miguel Regueiro Corey Siegel #AIBD2021 @IBDConference

Another clinical pearl from the panel: enterovesical fistula mgmt should start with antibiotics and surgery, then IBD treatment. In pediatrics, enteral nutrition as well Miguel Regueiro Corey Siegel @Hherf Amy Lee Lightner, MD Bruce E. Sands @JenniferStrophle #AIBD2021 @IBDConference

Unfortunately, any debate on medication selection includes the prior authorization process — it effects which medication is selected and which medication a patient may/will receive #AIBD2021 @IBDConference

Regardless of what side of the debate you are on, there are multiple aspects to medication selection — let's also not forgot to talk about the natural course of IBD if we do not intervene early #AIBD2021 @IBDConference

Great clinical pearls on hidradenitis management Corey Siegel David Hudesman Bincy Abraham, MD, MS Miguel Regueiro Florian Rieder @SCKimCHP #AIBD2021 @IBDConference

Discussing cardiovascular risks: relative risk higher in IBD despite fewer conventional CVD risk factors, and higher in younger age, and women Edward Loftus #AIBD2021 @IBDConference

In addition to treating and managing IBD, we have an opportunity to bridge the gap of general health care maintenance for our patients #NanaBernaskoDNP #AIBD2021 @IBDConference #APPTrack

“If you think in terms of risk, about what the most disabling situation is when it comes to #ulcerativecolitis, it’s probably surgery, and most patients would like to avoid this at any cost,” Angelina Collins, NP #CCCongress22 #GITwitter #IBD American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) bit.ly/3nNtzqd

📢📢📢 We must support patients to have the information and conversations that they need to make informed decisions in effectively treating their disease, especially as new treatments become available. #crohns #uc #aibd2022 Corey Siegel

🔑 recognize social determinants of health 🔑 think about SDOH as a predictor in disease severity 🔑 understand how ancestry describes a patient’s ethnicity 🔑 recognize systemic biases that can put patients at a disadvantage 💎 collect more data on SDOH in research #AIBD2022

🔘 Realize that as a provider, we are sometimes the only one talking to the patient about their ostomy 🔘Access to care for ostomates is often difficult #AIBD2022
