P074 SUSTAINED IMPROVEMENTS IN FATIGUE AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH IBD AND IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA FOLLOWING A SINGLE COURSE OF FERUMOXYTOL: RESULTS OF A 6-MONTH EXTENSION STUDY
Iron deficiency anemia (IDA), common in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) due to blood loss, inflammation and malabsorption, negatively impacts patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Oral iron is often first-line treatment, bu… Continue reading
P075 VITAMIN B12 MALABSORPTION AND DEFICIENCY FOLLOWING RESTORATIVE PROCTOCOLECTOMY: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS
Restorative proctocolectomy (RP) is a common surgical procedure utilized in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), primarily ulcerative colitis (UC). This procedure involves removal of the colon, and the formation of a pouch from the dista… Continue reading
P076 USING DEEP LEARNING FOR AUTOMATED GRADING OF ENDOSCOPIC DISEASE SEVERITY IN ULCERATIVE COLITIS
Objectives: Endoscopic severity of ulcerative colitis predicts clinical outcomes, making it critical for assessing efficacy of new therapies. However, its use in routine practice is limited by availability of experienced and trained human reviewers. … Continue reading
P077 A NOVEL PREDICTIVE NOMOGRAM FOR EARLY ENDOSCOPIC RECURRENCE AFTER INTESTINAL RESECTION FOR CROHN’S DISEASE
Most patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) that undergo intestinal resection will subsequently experience disease recurrence. Endoscopic recurrence (ER) after intestinal resection for CD precedes the clinical recurrence, and its severity correlates with… Continue reading
P078 CAPSULE SCORING OF ULCERATIVE COLITIS (CSUC) IS USEFUL FOR MONITORING INACTIVE ULCERATIVE COLITIS
We reported a novel 1-day colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) regimen with high completion rate and good acceptability especially in clinically inactive cases and therefore suggested its potential utility as a non-invasive monitoring tool to evaluate mucosal… Continue reading
P079 CORRELATION BETWEEN PUCAI, ENDOSCOPY AND PATHOLOGY SCORES IN A MAJORITY HISPANIC UC PEDIATRIC POPULATION
The current gold standard for monitoring the severity and treatment of ulcerative colitis is a combination of endoscopy mucosal scores with concomitant pathology scores. The Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Assessment Index (PUCAI) was developed as an easy… Continue reading
P080 DYSMENORRHEA IN WOMEN WITH ULCERATIVE COLITIS
Dysmenorrhea and ulcerative colitis (UC) are conditions that commonly affect women of reproductive age. Despite their similar symptoms, the relationship between the two is poorly understood. The aims of this study were to explore the relationships betw… Continue reading
P081 HISTOLOGIC HEALING RATES OF MEDICAL THERAPIES FOR ULCERATIVE COLITIS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS OF RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALS
Histologic remission is a potentially valuable means of assessing disease activity and treatment response in ulcerative colitis (UC). However, the efficacy of existing therapies to achieve this outcome is unclear. We performed a systematic review and m… Continue reading
P082 PREOPERATIVE ANTI-TNFS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A SHORTER INTERVAL TO DE NOVO CROHN’S DISEASE AFTER ILEAL POUCH-ANAL ANASTOMOSIS FOR ULCERATIVE COLITIS
Anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) agents are widely used in the treatment of moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) since commercial approval in 1998. Many patients however ultimately require surgery with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA). Co… Continue reading
P083 VALIDATION OF A NEW PHYSICIAN GLOBAL ASSESSMENT COLONOSCOPY SCORE (PGA-CS) FOR PEDIATRIC CROHN’S DISEASE
Mucosal healing is widely recognized as the gold standard for assessing Crohn’s disease (CD) activity. Existing indices for assessing mucosal healing such as the simple endoscopic score for CD (SES-CD) are cumbersome and not commonly used in practice… Continue reading
