Filter by:Study to determine whether the use of an ultrasound completed during an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) clinic will speed up diagnosis, treatment initiation, reduce complications, save money and reduce investigations compared with our current standard of care.
The timing of elective surgery in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may be crucial according to progression of the disease. In most cases, medical treatment has failed when surgery is discussed. If treatment with surgery then is delayed, complications may arise, such as fistula, severe inflammation with risk of perforation or stenosis, nutrition problems i.e. This may affect quality of life, and also make the surgery more complicated, with higher risk of per- and postoperative complications. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a shift in resources where elective surgery has been postponed. The waiting time for elective surgery for IBD-patients at Sahlgrenska University Hospital/Östra is still affected which might have impact on patient health outcomes as well as health economics, due to the risk of complications and need of emergency and planned care while waiting for surgery. The primary object is to evaluate how long an IBD patient can wait for surgery before affecting health economy and quality of life. In the operation program Orbit, we identify all patients with ulcerative colitits (UC) and Crohn´s disease (CD) that stands in line for elective surgery (not including dysplasia/cancer). The date when operation was decided is registered including time of delay. Patient characteristics are registered in CRF, including diagnosis, age and reason for scheduled surgery. Number of hospital visits (planned/emergency visits) are registered during time of waiting for surgery. Days of sick leave is registered from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency. Questionnaires are sent to the patients for quality of life and bowel function (EQ5D and Short Health Scale). The primary endpoint in the first manuscript is how health economics is affected by the delay of elective care in IBD-patients, due to complications and extensive need of hospital visits while waiting for surgery, costs of medical material (stoma bandage i.e), costs of medical treatment and sick leave rates, including quality of life. Patients who have been operated for IBD will form the control group and comparison will be made in terms of complications, hospital visits, costs of medical material and medical treatment and sick leave rates, as well as quality of life.
We will conduct a multicenter, parallel-group, non-inferiority RCT in persons with IBD undergoing colorectal neoplasia screening with high-definition white light colonoscopy, comparing a strategy of sampling visible lesions alone to a conventional strategy of sampling both visible lesions as well as normal-appearing mucosa using non-targeted biopsies. The primary outcome is the neoplasia detection rate. The required sample size to demonstrate non-inferiority is 1952 persons.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the diagnostic potential of Artificial Intelligence-assisted Fecal Microbiome Testing for the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is Artificial Intelligence-assisted Fecal Microbiome Testing a reliable screening test for inflammatory bowel disease? Participants will be asked to provide fecal samples to be analyzed with next-generation sequencing techniques. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare the diagnostic performance of AI-assisted Fecal Microbiome Testing with colonoscopy to see the correlation between the results of both interventions.
The study will show the influence of inflammatory bowel disease on the risk of development of atherosclerosis
Fibrates, specific pharmacological agonists of PPARα, have been widely used to treat hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia. Apart from their metabolic action, anti-inflammatory properties of fibrates have been described, including inhibition of NF-kappa B signaling and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. 4 Fenofibrate, an important peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-a (PPAR- α) agonist, is widely used in clinical as a triglyceride (TG)-lowering agent
The aim is to evaluate the presence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This will be done by cognitive tests. Along them, screening for depression, anxiety and stress will be done. A blood sample for determining serum values of homocysteine, protein S100-B, amyloid and BDNF will be stored. Patients will be followed-up for 2 years.

This study is part of the Clinnova program. This is a prospective cohort study including patients with IBD recruited at the time of a treatment change. At least 800 participants (recruited in France, Germany and Luxembourg) will be enrolled, of which 100 participants are expected to be recruited in Luxembourg with the present study protocol. The mission of Clinnova is to support the digitalization of healthcare and precision medicine by creating a data-enabling environment for accessing, sharing and analyzing interoperable, high-quality health data. The main hypothesis is that treatment change decided by clinicians is predictable using objective surrogate markers derived from clinical, epidemiological, and omics data. Identifying these objective markers may facilitate future treatment decisions, provide new insights on the molecular causes for differential treatment response, pathogenesis and progression, and potential pointers for improved personalized therapeutic interventions.
The purpose of this study is to compare efficacy of the suplementation using the conventional oral and oral nano form of the calciferol.
