It is important to understand patient experience as we strive to provide patient-centred care in inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. Patient experience is a composite of all the interactions and interplay between the healthcare system and the patient, which in the case of IBD is often long-term and in multi-dimensional, multi-specialty and multi-settings. Patients highly value getting timely appointments, proper access to information and understanding it, engagement in decisions and good communication. Patient experience, however, is quite distinct from patient satisfaction. Satisfaction depends on whether expectations from the healthcare system have been met1 and this may depend on factors that have set these in...

Patient-reported experience measures [PREMs] are today a core asset to orientate health care quality improvements. They are particularly relevant in clinical situations requiring frequent interactions between patients and the health care system, like inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. Indeed, IBD chronic care requires continuous therapies, psychological interventions, and follow-ups. The characteristics of health care services play an important role in the life of these patients and in their satisfaction with the care received. The aim of this study was to develop and validate an IBD-specific questionnaire [WE-CARE IBD SCORE] able to capture IBD patients’ needs and priorities for their own health care and based on patients’ perspectives.

Recent treatment guidelines for ulcerative colitis [UC] do not recommend long-term corticosteroid [CS] use. The present study aimed to capture the changes in CS use from 2006 to 2016 and to identify factors associated with long-term CS use after 2014, when the first two anti-tumour necrosis factor antibodies [infliximab and adalimumab] became available.

The aim of this study was to define clusters of activity in a population-based cohort during the first 5 years after diagnosis in children with ulcerative colitis [UC] and to identify early prognostic risk factors.

Inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] is a risk factor for colorectal cancer [CRC]. The aim of this study is to determine whether stage at diagnosis and survival differ between sporadic, ulcerative colitis [UC]- and Crohn’s disease [CD]-related CRC.

Real-life data on long-term disease activity in Crohn’s disease [CD] are scarce. Most studies describe disease course by using proxies, such as drug exposure, need for surgery or hospitalisations, and disease progression. We aimed to describe disease course by long-term disease activity and to identify distinctive disease activity patterns in the population-based IBD South Limburg cohort [IBDSL].

Elderly-onset inflammatory bowel disease [IBD], defined as age??60 at diagnosis, is increasing worldwide. We aimed to compare clinical characteristics and natural history of elderly-onset IBD patients with those of adult-onset IBD patients.

Paediatric data on the association between diagnostic delay and inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] complications are lacking. We aimed to determine the effect of diagnostic delay on stricturing/fistulising complications, surgery, and growth impairment in a large paediatric cohort, and to identify predictors of diagnostic delay.

Better patient knowledge on inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] could improve outcome and quality of life. The aim of this study was to assess if an education programme improves IBD patients’ skills as regards their disease.

Vedolizumab is an anti-?4?7 antibody approved for the treatment of ulcerative colitis [UC]. Although it is assumed that vedolizumab blocks intestinal homing of lymphocytes, its effects on different intestinal cell populations are not fully stablished. In order to establish the unique mechanisms of action of vedolizumab in UC patients, we compared its effects to those induced by anti-tumour necrosis factor [TNF].

Faecal microbiota transplantation [FMT] is a recommended treatment for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection, and there is promise that FMT may be effective for conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. Previous FMT clinical trials have considered the possibility of a ‘donor effect’, that is, that FMT material from different donors has different clinical efficacies.

Loss-of-function variants in protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type-2 [PTPN2] promote susceptibility to inflammatory bowel diseases [IBD]. PTPN2 regulates Janus-kinase [JAK] and signal transducer and activator of transcription [STAT] signalling, while protecting the intestinal epithelium from inflammation-induced barrier disruption. The pan-JAK inhibitor tofacitinib is approved to treat ulcerative colitis, but its effects on intestinal epithelial cell-macrophage interactions and on barrier properties are unknown. We aimed to determine if tofacitinib can rescue disrupted epithelial-macrophage interaction and barrier function upon loss of PTPN2.

Patients with inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] are considered immunosuppressed, but do not seem more vulnerable for COVID-19. Nevertheless, intestinal inflammation has shown to be an important risk factor for SARS-CoV-2 infection and prognosis. Therefore, we investigated the role of intestinal inflammation on the viral intestinal entry mechanisms, including ACE2, in IBD.

Extracellular vesicles are nanovesicles released by many cell types into the extracellular space. They are important mediators of intercellular communication, enabling the functional transfer of molecules from one cell to another. Moreover, their molecular composition reflects the physiological status of the producing cell and tissue.

There are ten good reasons why it is important to think about abnormalities in bile acid control in inflammatory bowel disease. Before reviewing these reasons, it is relevant to review essential elements in the enterohepatic circulation, synthesis and actions of bile acids.
