Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has moved at a rapid pace over the last few years. Areas of advancement have included new knowledge of the factors associated with the genetic predisposition, environmental triggers, and immune system dysregulation associated with IBD, along with advancement of the medical armaments for the treatment of IBD. In addition, the evidence-based development of treatment goals in the clinical care of patients has been established and includes clinical, biochemical, endoscopic and radiologic endpoints.
This Special Issue of Children will focus on pediatric IBD, providing updates on newer therapeutic agents available for achieving treatment goals and up-to-date information on monitoring strategies in clinical care, including endoscopic scoring and the use of intestinal ultrasound.
