Core Tip

Core Tip: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are more likely to acquire other immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). IBD patients with concurrent IMIDs were more likely to require biologics and IBD-related surgeries than non-IBD patients due to extensive disease phenotypes according to recent studies. As a result, when treating IBD patients, we must be aware of the concurrence of other IMIDs and understand its pathogenesis to select biologic and small molecule therapies that treat multiple concomitant diseases.
