What factors determine if a pediatric IBD patient is at high risk for complications?

Athos Bousvaros, MD, AGAF, and Andrew Grossman, MD, discuss the biggest takeaways from the Pediatric IBD: The State of the Art workshop.

On Feb. 7-9, 2019, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) professionals gathered at the second annual Crohn’s & Colitis Congress® to discuss how to transform IBD care. 

In a video filmed during the Crohn’s & Colitis Congress, Athos Bousvaros, MD, AGAF, and Andrew Grossman, MD, discussed the biggest takeaways from the Pediatric IBD: The State of the Art workshop. These include:

  • Importance of serological markers to risk-stratify patients and if needed to recommend more aggressive therapies, like biologics.
  • Optimizing the use of proactive therapeutic drug monitoring to achieve mucosal healing and disease remission.
