Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For children and adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the overarching aim of management is the induction and maintenance of remission, preferably with mucosal healing. However, the disease course for each individual with IBD is unique and many different factors may increase clinical disease activity or prove to be beneficial (with improved activity or the prevention of relapse). This Special Issue provides a broad remit to discuss traditional and nuanced studies that explore well-known or little-known factors that could influence disease activity for those with IBD. Papers may report on anti-inflammatory factors that could include novel therapies, exercise, food and nutrition, complementary and alternative medicines, or traditional treatments. Work reporting pro-inflammatory factors may include psychosocial and environmental variables, drug interactions, or comorbid conditions. We welcome original studies, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, case-reports, and scoping reviews.
