Our scoping review on IBD in South Asia is published! It took us over 3 years to review the literature and write. We hope that this paper will provide clinical pearls and help advance the field. @dranuraagj.bsky.social @ownyourcrohns.bsky.social

PREDICT-UC Multicenter open-label RCT in acute severe ulcerative colitis. Higher doses of IFX did not result in better clinical response by days 7/14, nor colectomy rates by 3 mths. Maintenance dosing for intensified/accelerated dosing groups limited by local restrictions. #IBDSky

🌟Ever found yourself doubting about IBD new drugs doses? or forgetting Thiopurine metabolism details? I've been there too 🤩 So I thought it could help having "IBD Cheat Sheets" and that is what I did: ibd-eii.com/ibdcheatsheet/ I hope it helps as much as it helps me
