Background: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) affect working-age patients. Data was lacking concerning the impact on working life. Aims: The French IBD patient association conducted a nationwide survey to assess the burden of IBD at work. Methods: An online survey was performed in 2016, targeting IBD patients working or having worked previously. The results were compared to those observed in the general population. Results: Data from 1410 IBD patients were analyzed (62% Crohn's disease, 35% ulcerative colitis). Four-fifth of respondents were actively employed. Half of them stated that working with IBD was a problem. Compared to the general population, IBD employees had higher rates of permanent contracts, public employment but also of part-time contracts, and highly graduated patients were less likely to reach high qualified jobs. Among the disabling symptoms at work, fatigue was the most frequent (41%) followed by diarrhea (25%) and fecal incontinence (18%). Despite these difficulties, 76% were satisfied with their job. Most patients shared their IBD diagnosis with their colleagues, but 25% of them regretted it. Conclusion: IBD has a strong negative impact on working life. While work satisfaction remains high, IBD affects career plans, highlighting the need for supporting measures to improve patients' work experience.

Summary: This study aimed to provide a clinician's guide on practical information for FC measurement to reduce confounding factors, minimize dosage variability, and ensure better interpretation of results. Further studies are needed to compare commercially available tests and identify the best tools for precise and accurate FC measurement.

Combination Therapy Does Not Improve Rate of Clinical or Endoscopic Remission in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Treated With Vedolizumab or Ustekinumab

Evolution of Endoscopic Lesions in Steroid-Refractory Acute Severe Ulcerative Colitis Responding to Infliximab or Cyclosporine

Gisbert, Philippe Marteau, Stephane Nahon, Martine de Vos, Laurent Peyrin-Biroulet, Jean-Yves Mary

Summary: In patients with steroid-refractory ASUC responding to second-line medical therapy, the process of endoscopic remission started with bleeding remission and was not achieved in half the patients at day 98 for vascular pattern. Infliximab provided a higher endoscopic remission rate than cyclosporine at day 98.

Summary: The introduction of TNF inhibitors has revolutionized the treatment of Crohn's disease, but there are still differences in the actual application of evidence-based guidelines, leading to treatment disparities between countries. The availability of biosimilars can help reduce health inequalities caused by variations in drug availability.

Summary: A magnetic resonance imaging-based index was developed and validated to predict Crohn's disease postoperative recurrence. The index demonstrated high accuracy and reliability in predicting postoperative recurrence of CD. The MONITOR index can be used in clinical practice to predict the POR of CD.

Evolving Short- and Long-Term Goals of Management of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: Getting It Right, Making It Last

Catherine Le Berre, Amanda Ricciuto, Laurent Peyrin-Biroulet, Dan Turner

Summary: Short- and long-term treatment targets in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) have shifted from symptom control to endoscopic healing and patient-centered parameters. The impact of early treatment on IBD remains unclear, highlighting the need for prospective disease-modification trials. The SPIRIT consensus has defined the targets for these trials to evaluate the long-term effects of early treatment on quality of life, disability, complications, neoplastic lesions, and mortality.

Summary: This study evaluated the short-term effectiveness and safety of risankizumab in patients with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease (CD). The results showed that risankizumab treatment provided clinical response in approximately 78.5% of patients and steroid-free clinical remission in approximately 45.8% of patients at 12 weeks. Adverse events were observed, but were relatively rare.

Summary: In this study, fatigue in patients with inflammatory bowel disease was found to be associated with age, gender, and disease activity. The determinants of fatigue were not limited to disease-related factors, but also included social factors, sleep, and emotional disturbances. Therefore, a holistic approach to care should be employed for IBD patients.

Can we change the natural course of inflammatory bowel disease?

Catherine Le Berre, Silvio Danese, Laurent Peyrin-Biroulet

Summary: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic lifelong diseases characterized by inflammation and irreversible damage to the gastrointestinal tract. The impact of early initiation of IBD-specific therapy on long-term disease progression needs to be further explored. Surgery and hospitalization rates have been used as surrogate markers to measure disease progression in IBD, but they may not accurately reflect the effectiveness of medical therapies.
