TLDR
In a case-control study, increased inflammation is associated with CRN in patients with UC and use of immune modulators reduced the risk for CRN, indicating that these drugs have chemoprotective effects.

The epidemiology of inflammatory bowel disease.

TL;DR: In recent years, self-management and patient empowerment, combined with evolving eHealth solutions, has utilized epidemiological knowledge on disease patterns and has been improving compliance and the timing of adjusting therapies, thus optimizing efficacy by individualizing medication in the community setting.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of endoscopy in inflammatory bowel disease.

TL;DR: Preliminary data suggest that mucosal healing assessed with endoscopy after biologic treatments could be associated with a better prognosis, and some operative techniques like balloon dilation could possibly be employed more frequently in the future in the management of Crohn's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mucosal Healing Is Associated With Improved Long-term Outcomes of Patients With Ulcerative Colitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

TL;DR: In a meta-analysis, MH is associated with long-term clinical remission, avoidance of colectomy, and corticosteroid-free clinical remission and is therefore appropriate goal of UC therapy.

The role of endoscopy in inflammatory bowel disease.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed that coloscopy is an essential tool for diagnosis, management and prognostic evaluation of inflammatory bowel disease, and that colonoscopy performed by an expert endoscopist allows accurate diagnosis of Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis in up to 90% of cases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endoscopic scoring indices for evaluation of disease activity in ulcerative colitis

TL;DR: A systematic review was undertaken to identify and evaluate the development and operating characteristics of histologic disease activity indices used to assess disease activity in people with ulcerative colitis and found the Nancy Index and the Robarts Histopathology Index have undergone the most validation.

The measurement of observer agreement for categorical data

TL;DR: A general statistical methodology for the analysis of multivariate categorical data arising from observer reliability studies is presented and tests for interobserver bias are presented in terms of first-order marginal homogeneity and measures of interob server agreement are developed as generalized kappa-type statistics.

The risk of colorectal cancer in ulcerative colitis: a meta-analysis

TL;DR: Using new meta-analysis techniques, the risk of CRC in UC by decade of disease and defined the risk in pancolitics and children was determined and how risk varies with geography was estimated.

Inflammation and Cancer IV. Colorectal cancer in inflammatory bowel disease: the role of inflammation

TL;DR: Observations of mice genetically prone to inflammatory bowel disease also develop colorectal cancer especially in the presence of bacterial colonization offer compelling support for the role of inflammation in colon carcinogenesis.

Severity of inflammation is a risk factor for colorectal neoplasia in ulcerative colitis

TL;DR: In long-standing extensive ulcerative colitis, the severity of colonic inflammation is an important determinant of the risk of colorectal neoplasia and endoscopic and histological grading of inflammation could allow better risk stratification for surveillance programs.
