Objective: Infliximab is approved for pediatric Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), but is limited in children by its intravenous administration. We evaluated the effectiveness and safety of switching from intravenous to subcutaneous infliximab in pediatric patients with CD/UC.
Methods: Multicenter retrospective cohort study, from January to December 2022 in two pediatric centers, that included CD/UC patients in clinical remission and weighing ≥50 kg, treated with maintenance dose IV IFX.

Background And Objective: Thiopurines (azathioprine (AZA) and 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP)), used to maintain remission in inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (CU)) and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), are responsible for a number of adverse effects. One is leukopenia, mainly due to neutropenia and less known lymphopenia. This study aimed to assess the incidence rate of lymphopenia in pediatric patients with CD, CU, and AIH treated with azathioprine (AZA) and to evaluate the impact of lymphopenia on the occurrence of opportunistic infections and its relationship with disease activity, treatment, and nutritional status.

The relationship between interleukin-22 and clinical characteristics of patients with inflammatory bowel disease is uncertain. We sought to determine whether plasma interleukin-22 concentrations are associated with disease activity in a large population of patients with inflammatory bowel disease. This was an observational study of patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis in the Study of a Prospective Adult Research Cohort with IBD (SPARC IBD) from the IBD Plexus registry of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation in the United States.

Background: Fibrofatty proliferation of mesenteric fat is a common finding on magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) in Crohn's disease (CD) patients. Mesenteric fat may play a role in inflammation, fibrosis, and stricture formation, but its prognostic value in predicting complications remains unclear.
Objectives: To assess the association between mesenteric fat proliferation on MRE and the risk of hospital admissions and bowel surgery in CD patients.

Background & Aims: Diets can help induce remission in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). However, given inconsistent recommendations across purportedly beneficial anti-inflammatory diets and prior studies highlighting benefits of plant-based diet patterns, we hypothesized that the benefit of diet therapy stems from the overall "healthfulness" of diet patterns.
Methods: In a randomized controlled trial, adults with mild-to-moderate CD were assigned to receive guidance on a natural whole food diet that comprised principles of a healthful diet versus continuation of one's habitual diet.
