In the past decade there have been major advances in investigations, pharmacological, non-pharmacological and surgical interventions for patients with IBD. This has allowed patients' treatment regime to be personalized to include medication, lifestyle changes, and possibly surgery.
The goal is to minimize the impact of UC on a patient's daily life, prevent disease progression, and enhance overall well-being. Collaborating closely with healthcare providers and following a comprehensive treatment approach can greatly support patients in effectively managing UC and achieving the best possible outcomes.
Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are the principal forms of inflammatory bowel disease. Both represent chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, which displays heterogeneity in inflammatory and symptomatic burden between patients and within individuals over time. Optimal management relies on understanding and tailoring evidence-based interventions by clinicians in partnership with patients.
This guideline for management of inflammatory bowel disease in adults over 16 years of age was developed by Stakeholders representing UK physicians (British Society of Gastroenterology), surgeons (Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland), specialist nurses (Royal College of Nursing), paediatricians (British Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition), dieticians (British Dietetic Association), Radiologists (British Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology), general practitioners (Primary Care Society for Gastroenterology) and patients (Crohn’s and Colitis UK). A systematic review of 88247 publications and a Delphi consensus process involving 81 multidisciplinary clinicians and patients was undertaken to develop 168 evidence and expert opinion-based recommendations for pharmacological and surgical interventions, as well as optimal service delivery in the management of both ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease.1
