Rates of Intestinal Resection and Colectomy in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients After Initiation of Biologics: A Cohort Study

George Khoudari et al.

Summary: In this study, it was found that inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients treated with biologics were significantly less likely to undergo bowel resection when compared to those who never received biologics. This suggests that biologics may impact surgical rates in IBD patients.

Prevalence, Indirect Costs, and Risk Factors for Work Disability in Patients with Crohn's Disease at a Tertiary Care Center in Rio de Janeiro

Renata de Sa Brito Froes et al.

Summary: In Rio de Janeiro, one-sixth of Crohn's disease patients are affected by work disability, with risk factors mainly related to disease duration and complications. As this disability impacts young patients after a relatively short period of illness, the socioeconomic burden of CD is expected to increase in the future due to the rising prevalence.

Contemporary Risk of Surgery in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease: A Meta-Analysis of Population-Based Cohorts

Lester Tsai et al.

Summary: The patient-level risks of surgery in patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease have significantly decreased over time, with a 5-year cumulative risk of surgery of 7.0% in ulcerative colitis and 18.0% in Crohn's disease in contemporary cohorts. This decrease may be related to early detection and/or better treatment.

Management of Crohn Disease A Review

Kelly Cushing et al.

Summary: Crohn disease is a chronic gastrointestinal inflammatory disease that requires early and effective control of inflammation. Treatment options include medication, surgery, and vaccination for infection prevention. Physicians should consider disease severity, patient risk stratification, age, and other clinical factors when determining the best treatment strategy.

Socioeconomic impact of high-cost drugs in Brazilian dermatology. Legal and financial aspects, and impact on clinical practice

Renan Tironi Giglio de Oliveira et al.

Summary: The technological advancement of the pharmaceutical industry, combined with the expansion of immunopathogenesis knowledge, has changed the therapeutic options in dermatology. This study analyzed the current situation of high-cost drugs in the public health network, legal requirements for dermatological drugs, and the need for cost-effectiveness and public planning studies for incorporating new therapies. Legal issues remain a major factor in the demand for dermatological drugs, with psoriasis being the main disease involved in requiring medications through the judicial system in the state.

Flavia Goncalves Musauer Palacio et al.

Summary: There has been a decrease in hospitalization, surgery, and surgical-related lethality rates associated with IBD in Brazil, with uneven distribution in industrialized regions. The decentralization and improvements in public health services have contributed to these reductions.

Real-world treatment patterns and disease control over one year in patients with inflammatory bowel disease in Brazil

Ligia Yukie Sassaki et al.

Summary: The RISE BR study aimed to evaluate disease control, treatment patterns, and disease burden among patients with moderate-to-severe active inflammatory bowel disease in Brazil. Findings from the prospective follow-up phase showed that a significant proportion of patients achieved disease control, but it took considerable time to achieve this outcome in a real-world Brazilian setting.

Silvio Danese et al.

Summary: In the vedolizumab extended access programme, most patients showed persistence with treatment even after reducing dosing frequency to every 8 weeks, with low rates of relapse and re-escalation to the higher dosing frequency of every 4 weeks. The safety profile of vedolizumab remained consistent with previous reports, with infrequent adverse events reported.
