Extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) affect up to one-third of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and can significantly contribute to morbidity, impaired quality of life, and long-term disease burden, yet they remain inconsistently recognized and managed in clinical practice. Many gastroenterologists …
Although treatment advances in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have improved symptom control, many patients continue to experience progressive structural bowel damage and systemic complications that are not adequately addressed in routine care. Gastroenterologists and multidisciplinary gastrointestinal (GI) care teams often …
