The Characteristics and Long-term Outcomes of Pediatric Crohn's Disease Patients with Perianal Disease
Conclusions: Pediatric patients with Crohn's disease with both nonfistulizing and fistulizing disease have worse clinical outcomes. Nonfistulizing disease is a risk factor for the development of fistulizing disease over time. (Source: Inflammatory Bowel Diseases)

Vitamin D Status Is Associated with Hepcidin and Hemoglobin Concentrations in Children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Background: Anemia, iron deficiency, and hypovitaminosis D are well-known comorbidities in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Epidemiologic studies have linked vitamin D deficiency with increased risk of anemia, and in vitro studies suggest that vitamin D may improve iron recycling through downregulatory effects on hepcidin and proinflammatory cytokines. Methods: We aimed to investigate the association of vitamin D status with inflammation, iron biomarkers, and anemia in pediatric IBD. Cross-sectional data were obtained from N = 69 patients with IBD aged 5 to 5 mg/L or α-1-acid glycoprotein>1 g/L). Iron deficiency prevale...

Noninvasive Fecal Immunochemical Testing and Fecal Calprotectin Predict Mucosal Healing in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Prospective Cohort Study
Background: The noninvasive biomarkers fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) and fecal calprotectin (FCP) are sensitive for prediction of mucosal inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease. However, neither test has yet been shown to independently and accurately predict mucosal healing (MH). We aimed to assess the specificity of noninvasive FIT and FCP for MH prediction. Methods: In this prospective cohort study of adult inflammatory bowel disease outpatients presenting for colonoscopy, stool samples for FIT and FCP were collected 48 hours before endoscopy. Using MH defined by Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's disease (SES...

Extraintestinal Manifestations Are Common in Obese Patients with Crohn's Disease
Conclusions: Most patients were overweight or obese, which correlates with national population trends. Our data suggest disease location plays a role in weight modulation in patients with CD. Increased extraintestinal manifestations in patients with high BMI suggests that the chronic inflammation associated with obesity may play a role in extraintestinal inflammation.
