Clinical Utility of Fecal Calprotectin Monitoring in Asymptomatic Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Systematic Review and Practical Guide
Conclusions: Two consecutively elevated FC values are highly associated with disease relapse, indicating a consideration to proactively optimize IBD therapy plans. More prospective data are necessary to assess whether FC monitoring improves health outcomes. (Source: Inflammatory Bowel Diseases)

Management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in the Elderly Patient: Challenges and Opportunities
Abstract: The population of older patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) continues to grow, partly reflecting the aging global population in general. The debilitating effects of IBD compound age-related decrements in health and functional capacity, and make the medical management of older patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis distinctly challenging to clinicians. Here, we review the recent literature describing the pharmacologic management of IBD in this population, with focus on the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of common treatment options, such as steroids, immunomodulators, tumor necrosis fac...

Modifiable Risk Factors for Hospital Readmission Among Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease in a Nationwide Database
Conclusions: Readmission occurs frequently in patients with IBD and is costly. Anxiety, depression, and chronic pain may represent targets for interventions to prevent 90-day hospital readmission in this population. (Source: Inflammatory Bowel Diseases)

Variations in Health Insurance Policies Regarding Biologic Therapy Use in Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Conclusions: The majority of the policies reviewed fail to adhere to the current AGA pathway recommendations for ulcerative colitis and CD. Further interventions are needed to better align policies with optimal evidence-based drug therapy. (Source: Inflammatory Bowel Diseases)

Comparative Effectiveness of Mesalamine, Sulfasalazine, Corticosteroids, and Budesonide for the Induction of Remission in Crohn's Disease: A Bayesian Network Meta-analysis: Republished
Background: Induction treatment of mild-to-moderate Crohn's disease is controversial.
Purpose: To compare the induction of remission between different doses of mesalamine, sulfasalazine, corticosteroids, and budesonide for active Crohn's disease.
Data sources: We identified randomized controlled trials from existing Cochrane reviews and an updated literature search in Medline, EMBASE, and CENTRAL to November 2015.
Study selection: We included randomized controlled trials (n = 22) in adult patients with Crohn's disease that compared budesonide, sulfasalazine, mesalamine, or corticosteroids with placebo or each other, for...
