In our latest study, we found that patients with both giant cell arteritis and diabetes had significantly higher mortality than those with either condition alone. Our findings suggest that comorbidities may provide important prognostic information beyond the inflammatory disease alone.

IBD increasingly demands global attention. Yet, the journals best positioned to amplify global evidence maintain structural barriers that limit contributions from regions outside the Global West. Our latest comment in @lancetgastrohep.bsky.social addresses this paradox in global IBD research.
