Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study was to assess the potential health outcomes and economic impact of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) as a therapeutic option for pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In Aim 1, we evaluated the comparative effectiveness of the SCD as an adjunct to pharmacotherapy by using registry data to create an external control arm for an N-of-1 trial. In the full population, there was no statistically significant difference in the change in disease activity from baseline to eight weeks comparing the SCD plus pharmacotherapy to pharmacotherapy alone. In subgroup analyses limited to patients with active disease at baseline, the difference in differences in disease activity was statistically significant, but did not reach clinical significance. In Aim 2, we developed a hybrid decision tree Markov model to assess the value-based price (VBP) of the SCD for induction of remission in pediatric patients with active Crohn’s disease (CD). At an effectiveness of only 50%, we found that the VBP of the SCD at a willingness-to-pay threshold of $50,000 per quality-adjusted life year was close to $20,000, which far exceeds the likely cost of the diet. In Aim 3, we conducted a qualitative study of parents of patients with IBD treated at Seattle Children’s Hospital to assess perceived barriers to initiating and/or maintaining the SCD. We found that parents of children diagnosed with IBD primarily chose to try the SCD due to concerns about medication safety. Additionally, we identified that cost, time commitment, and psychosocial impact are three major barriers to utilizing the SCD. This work provides a foundation for further research into the population health and economic impacts of dietary therapy for IBD. Future studies are needed to assess both the direct and indirect costs of the SCD, as well as the effectiveness of the SCD as a stand-alone therapy and as an adjunct to pharmacotherapy. These data would enable more robust evaluation of the SCD as a therapeutic option, therefore providing essential information for clinicians, patients, payers, and policy-makers.

Download or read book Factors Associated with Health related Quality of Life in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease written by Ellen M. Manegold and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Youth with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) experience poor health-related quality of life (HRQOL; e.g., Cunningham et al., 2007; De Boer et al., 2005; Greenley et al., 2010). Previous research has demonstrated that factors such as problematic family functioning and increased general anxiety are associated with decreased HRQOL in pediatric IBD (e.g., Guilfoyle et al., 2014; Gumidyala & Greenley, 2014; Herzer et al., 2011a; Kilroy, Nolan, & Sarma, 2011). However, little was known about how specific aspects of the parent-child relationship are related to HRQOL. Furthermore, there was a gap in the literature about the relation of gastrointestinal (GI)-specific anxiety to HRQOL. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to identify more specific factors of the parent-child relationship and GI-specific anxiety that are associated with HRQOL in pediatric IBD. Thirty youth with IBD (Mage = 13.90 years, Range = 10 -- 18; 60% Male) and their primary caregivers or parents were recruited from a pediatric gastroenterology clinic in West Virginia. Parents and youth each completed a series of study questionnaires. Results indicated a significant association between GI-specific anxiety and both youth- and parent-reported total HRQOL scores. There were some significant associations among parent-child relationship dimensions and youth- and parent-report of HRQOL. However, most all of these were counterintuitive and may have been a function of study limitations. Exploratory analyses with specific parent-child relationship dimensions as mediators or moderators of GI-specific anxiety and youth-reported HRQOL were non-significant. The small sample and number of analyses performed each contributed to a likely increase in Type I error. Further, the sample was underpowered to detect medium-to-large effect sizes. However, data suggests that GI-specific anxiety is an important consideration in HRQOL in this population. Future directions include expanding data collection for this study to increase statistical power through a larger sample and potentially greater generalizability of data, as well as investigate targeted interventions to improve GI-specific anxiety in this population.

Download or read book Advances in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases written by P. Rutgeerts and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1998-12-31 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease remain a great therapeutic challenge to the medical community. In recent years knowledge about the pathogenesis of these diseases has progressed rapidly but the cause of the diseases remains completely unknown. It has become clear that dysregulation of the mucosal immune system is the basis for the chronic evolution of the diseases in a genetically susceptible population. Exciting new therapeutic approaches have been attempted in the last couple of years and cytokine and anti-cytokine treatments in particular seem very promising, especially in intractable disease. The format of the Falk Symposium 106 on `Advances in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases', held in Brussels, Belgium, June 18-20, 1998, was somewhat innovative as each session attempted to link the new insights into pathogenetic mechanisms with new therapeutic approaches, resulting in optimal information transfer. The classic therapeutic schemes were updated with a special focus on step-wise build-up of therapy.

Download or read book Health Maintenance Education for Caregivers of Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients Impact on Knowledge and Adherence written by Payal Dharia and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) has the potential to affect growth, pubertal and psychosocial development. Limited knowledge and adherence can be problematic for both children with IBD and their caregivers. Inflammatory bowel disease experts recommend annual physical exams, gastroenterologist appointments, vaccinations, eye screenings, and laboratory work. At the time of implementation, the project site did not have a standardized process for health maintenance education for IBD patients/caregivers. The primary purpose of this study was to examine the impact of a live online educational intervention on caregivers of pediatric IBD patients’ level of knowledge and health maintenance adherence. Secondary aims included: (1) to compare various demographic characteristic with IBD knowledge scores and (2) to evaluate the educational session. IBD knowledge was measured using the IBD-KNOW tool before the intervention and one-week and six-weeks after the intervention. Caregivers were asked about adherence to and plans for scheduling health maintenance appointments pre-intervention and six-weeks later, respectively. Evaluation of the education was measured one-week after the session. Caregivers (N = 24), most college-educated, participated in one 30-minute education session. Results indicated a significant 13.7% (p =.002) increase in mean knowledge scores from pre-intervention to the six-week follow up. All caregivers (n = 14) reported they planned to schedule the recommended appointments (i.e., eye exam, blook work, vaccinations, and provider appointments) during the upcoming year. However, during the prior year, five of 24 caregivers reported the child did not have an eye exam. Results revealed a significantly higher knowledge level at baseline for those with a family history of IBD (t = 2.25, p = .035). Findings indicated no significant difference between knowledge scores in caregivers of children with Crohn’s disease versus Ulcerative colitis. Caregivers (n = 21) were overwhelmingly satisfied with the education; found it helpful and understandable. Online education may help to improve IBD-related knowledge, health maintenance plans, and prevent disease related complications. Future research could provide education directly to IBD patients in their teen-years and examine the impact on knowledge and adherence.

Download or read book Origins and Directions of Inflammatory Bowel Disease written by Joseph B. Kirsner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2001-12-31 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few human illnesses today are so challenging, medically, scientifically, and socio-economically, as the "nonspecific" inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD): ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Originating several centuries ago but essentially diseases of the 20th century, often attacking children and young adults, involving all bodily systems as well as the gastrointestinal tract, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease have emerged in recent decades as among the more "glamorous" unsolved diseases, presenting unusual opportunities for insightful clinical and investigative study. Many of the prevailing concepts originated during the early and mid 20th century. The purpose of Origins and Directions of Inflammatory Bowel Disease is to review these earlier studies and their evolution "from the mystical to the molecular," and guide investigators and physicians through the challenging clinical and scientific maze of IBD.
