This randomized controlled trial assessed the impact of an intensive nurse-led follow-up program on patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) starting advanced therapy. A total of 98 patients were randomized to either intensive follow-up or standard care. At week 52, IBD-Disk remission was achieved by 88% of patients in the intensive group compared to 64% in the standard care group (p=0.045).

Key findings

  • At week 12, patients in the intensive group had a greater IBD-Disk reduction of 16.1 ± 22.9 compared to 10.1 ± 20.1 in the standard care group (p=0.09).
  • 49% of patients in the intensive group achieved a robust response at week 12 compared to 21% in the standard care group (p=0.013).
  • By week 52, 88% of patients in the intensive group achieved IBD-Disk remission versus 64% in the standard care group (p=0.045).

Why it matters

The study highlights the potential benefits of integrating intensive nurse-led follow-up in managing IBD, which may enhance patient quality of life and clinical outcomes. Understanding these dynamics can inform care strategies in gastroenterology.
