Crohn's disease is an inflammatory disorder that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Some patients still experience persistent diarrhea or other symptoms such as abdominal pain even when their Crohn's disease is in remission. Diarrhea and/or abdominal pain that is not responsive to standard therapies can significantly affect a patient's quality of life and ability to work. The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of the drug ranolazine in reducing Crohn's disease-associated diarrhea and other symptoms. Ranolazine is approved by the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for chronic angina (a heart condition). This study is investigating if ranolazine could be used in the setting of Crohn's disease.
A cross-sectional study was performed from 2017 to 2018. Consecutive Crohn's disease patients diagnosed in the Inflammatory bowel disease center of the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were recruited. All patients underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and biopsy by two defined endoscopists and two pathologists, the basic information were collected at the same time, in order to assess the prevalence of upper gastrointestinal involvement, and determine the role of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in adult Crohn's disease patients, irrespective of upper gastrointestinal symptoms.
Innovative programs exist that suggest that care for people with chronic conditions is optimized when patients and providers have the information they need at the point of care and over time, to engage in shared planning and execution of treatment goals and care plans. This project aims to build an Inflammatory Bowel Disease Learning Health System, a shared information environment, that highlights collaboration among patients, clinicians and care team members, and researchers; for effective use of data for guiding care, value, improvement, and research.
In the past decade, the incidence and prevalence of CD (Crohn's disease) has continued to increase in Korea. Previous studies have indicated that Asian IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) patients differ from those of Western patients with regard to the genetic susceptibility and some clinical features. However, the available published data from retrospective studies in Korea were largely incomplete. The investigators aim of the study is a set-up of Korean cohort for CD, and thereby to assess the clinical course of Korean CD patients through a prospective multicenter long-term follow-up study. Secondary aims of this study are as follows: (1) to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability, and predictors to response to anti-TNF therapy for CD, (2) to identify the risk factors for postoperative recurrence on the basis of information obtained at initial diagnosis, and (3) to evaluate genotype-phenotype correlation.
