P086 HANDSEWN ANASTOMOSIS AFTER ILEOCOLIC RESECTION FOR CROHN’S DISEASE: A LOST ART?
Ileocolic resection (ICR) is the most common surgical procedure for Crohn’s disease (CD). Reconstruction is most commonly achieved with stapled side-to-side (SSTS) or hand-sewn (HS) ileocolic anastomosis (ICA), depending on tissue quality, surgeon ex… Continue reading
P087 ILEAL BIOMARKER OF INNATE IMMUNE ACTIVATION CAN PREDICT CLINICAL RESPONSE TO VEDOLIZUMAB IN CROHN’S DISEASE
Mucosal barrier dysfunction to luminal microbes plays a crucial role in the development of intestinal inflammation in Crohn’s disease (CD). Recently, an inflammatory form of intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) death resulting from innate immune activati… Continue reading
P088 IMMUNE GENE EXPRESSION DURING ACTIVE DISEASE IS ASSOCIATED WITH BRAIN, COGNITIVE AND BEHAVIORAL CHANGES IN PEDIATRIC CROHN’S DISEASE
Structural brain changes in gray and white matter have been found in adults with Crohn’s disease (CD). In adults, increased disease activity has also been associated with decreased cognitive performance. We have shown similar effects for pediatric CD… Continue reading
P089 RACIAL DISPARITIES IN HOSPITAL PRESENTATION AND OUTCOMES AFTER COLECTOMY FOR ULCERATIVE COLITIS
Up to 30% of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) require colectomy, but whether racial disparities exist in hospital presentation, operation choice, and post-operative outcomes remains unknown. Continue reading
P090 SOUTH ASIANS IN THE UNITED STATES HAVE MORE AGGRESSIVE PENETRATING AND PERIANAL CROHN’S DISEASSE
South Asians (SA) have recently been identified as having a rapidly rising incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) throughout the world. However, longitudinal phenotypic studies of SA living in the United States remain scarce. Continue reading
P091 STAPLED END-TO-SIDE VS. SIDE-TO-SIDE ANASTOMOSIS AFTER ILEOCECECTOMY FOR CROHN’S DISEASE: A PROPENSITY SCORE-MATCHED ANALYSIS
Ileocolic resection (ICR) is the most common surgical procedure for Crohn’s disease (CD). Anastomotic construction is most commonly achieved with stapled side-to-side (SSTS) or hand-sewn end-to-end anastomosis (ETE), with the decision often made by t… Continue reading
07 A SIGNIFICANT DECLINE IN COLECTOMY RATES FOR COLORECTAL CANCER IN PATIENTS WITH ULCERATIVE COLITIS
Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) are at increased risk of developing colorectal cancer. Independent risk factors include age, gender, extent and duration of disease activity, concurrent primary sclerosing cholangitis, a family history of sporadic … Continue reading
P092 INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE INCIDENCE IN SOUTH MORAVIAN REGION (CZECH REPUBLIC); 2002-2016
Inflammatory bowel disease is considered a global disease in the 21st century. Studies worldwide have shown an increase in incidence in paediatric population. The aim of the study was to detect the rising incidence of IBD in paediatric population (appr… Continue reading
P093 COMPARATIVE INCIDENCE OF INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE IN DIFFERENT AGE GROUPS: A COMMERCIALLY-INSURED, POPULATION-BASED US STUDY
Data on the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by age groups are available in countries outside of the United States (US) or localized populations within the US. We aimed to estimate the incidence rates (IRs) of IBD by age groups using a US… Continue reading
P094 COMPARING ORAL CORTICOSTEROIDS ≥30 MG/DAY USE AMONG PEDIATRIC AND ADULT PATIENTS WITH NEWLY DIAGNOSED CROHN’S DISEASE
Crohn’s disease (CD) has a relapsing–remitting disease course. Sparing use of oral corticosteroids (CS) ≥30 mg/day, as mono or combination therapy, are generally reserved for rapid relief of symptoms and induction of remission to achieve optimal … Continue reading
