TY - JOUR AU - Grover, Zubin PY - 2019 TI - Predicting and preventing complications in children with inflammatory bowel disease JF - Translational Pediatrics; Vol 8, No 1 (January 28, 2019): Translational Pediatrics (Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Children) Y2 - 2019 KW - N2 - Paediatric-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with greater disease burden and morbidity compared to adult-onset IBD. Accurate risk prediction for a complicated disease course in childhood onset IBD is essential for making the best treatment choices. Complicating course in IBD is closely linked with choice of therapies and treatment targets. In this review article, we examine risk factors of complicated disease course in children with IBD in the era of increasing use of biologics and tighter treatment targets. We also discuss emerging paediatric data supporting an early intensive approach targeting deeper healing, aiming for remission beyond symptoms with repeat endoscopic examination to make treatment adjustments.
