The approved maintenance regimens for ustekinumab in Crohn’s disease [CD] are 90 mg every 8 or 12 weeks. Some patients will respond partially to ustekinumab or will experience a secondary loss of response. It remains poorly known if these patients may benefit from shortening the interval between injections.

Inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] is characterised by abnormal host-microbe interactions. Proinflammatory cytokine IFN? and a novel tumour necrosis factor [TNF] superfamily member, TL1A, have been implicated in epithelial barrier dysfunction. The divergent regulatory mechanisms of transcellular versus paracellular hyperpermeability remain poorly understood.

Ileal strictures are the major indication for resective surgery in Crohn’s disease [CD]. We aimed to define ileal gene programmes present at diagnosis and linked with future stricturing behaviour during 5-year follow-up, and to identify potential small molecules to reverse these gene signatures.

Ulcerative colitis [UC] patients have a greater risk of developing colorectal cancer through inflammation-dysplasia-carcinoma sequence of transformation. The histopathological diagnosis of dysplasia is therefore of critical clinical relevance, but dysplasia may be difficult to distinguish from inflammatory changes.

Proctitis after subtotal colectomy with ileostomy for ulcerative colitis [UC] is common, but its impact on short- and long-term outcome after pouch surgery is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of proctitis after subtotal colectomy and its impact on postoperative morbidity and pouchitis.

Primary varicella zoster virus [VZV] infection results in varicella [chickenpox] and its reactivation results in herpes zoster [HZ; shingles]. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] are susceptible to complications of primary VZV infection and have an increased risk of HZ.

Frontali et al.1 recently published a retrospective multicentric experience of segmental colectomy [SC] in 72 patients diagnosed with ulcerative colitis [UC] and in endoscopic remission. After SC, postoperative early colitis was rare [7.0%], suggesting that SC could be a surgical alternative for UC patients in endoscopic remission.

We read with interest the review of quality metrics in inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] by Weissman and colleagues.1 We agree that many service quality standards are not supported by high-quality evidence and there is a huge range of measures, many of which are not easily quantified. IBD is a complex chronic condition, with care delivered to patients over many years by multidisciplinary teams, and IBD services vary enormously in size and structure. This makes measurement of service quality challenging.

We thank Dai et al.1 for their interest in our research work.2 We agree with the author that diagnostic and hence treatment delay in patients with Crohn’s disease [CD] would accelerate the disease progression, causing a complicated disease course manifested by higher frequency of stricture formation and increased rates of surgery.3 However, we did consider this fact during our analysis, and after propensity matching, the diagnostic delay [from symptom onset till diagnosis of CD]was similar in the group which received???6 months of anti-tubercular therapy [ATT] versus the one which did not (24 [6–180] vs 24 [1–360] months, p...

The paper by Weimers et al1 confirms the previously published high incidence of microscopic colitis in Denmark and that the incidence has recently levelled off.2 The incidence was approximately 23–28 per 100 000 inhabitants per year in the region of Zealand from 2011 through 2016.2 An error in the legend to Figure 41 impedes the interpretation of regional differences between the Danish regions. Nevertheless, the interpretation of these results needs a more thorough discussion. The Zealand region is comparable to the North Denmark region, but the incidence was much lower despite a high degree of awareness. It is difficult to...

We would like to thank Dr Munck1 for his interest and comments on our paper, ‘Incidence and prevalence of microscopic colitis between 2001 and 2016: A Danish nationwide cohort study’.2 Microscopic colitis [MC] was initially considered to be a rare disease, but has now emerged to be a common cause of non-bloody watery diarrhoea.3 In the letter, Dr Munck suggests that the increasing incidence of MC as well as the differences in incidence between regions of Denmark might be caused by increased use of newer histological stains as well as increased disease awareness among physicians. Moreover, Dr Munck also highlights the...
