Inflammatory bowel disease in transition: challenges and solutions in adolescent care.

ABSTRACT: The prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in childhood is increasing with a phenotype now established as one of complicated and extensive disease. Adolescent patients form a significant proportion of those requiring lifelong care. One of the most important steps in establishing a personal ability to effectively manage chronic disease is appropriate education, communication and a good relationship with healthcare professionals and a successful transition programme and subsequent transfer to adult care underpins this. It is vital to build trust and include parental input while transferring responsibility to the young person Although the literature confirms that the majority of paediatric gastroenterology units now have planned provision for transfer, the quality and appropriateness of these services have not been assessed or audited. This article discusses the drivers for establishing and improving transition services from both the patient's and healthcare provider's perspective. This heterogeneity of provision of healthcare for adolescents needs to be addressed and the experience of young people themselves is good evidence of this need. Barriers to optimal care need to be identified and managed and healthcare providers need to 'buy in' to establishing a flexible, patient focused achievable service for their patient population.

Assessment of Benefit of Advanced Inflammatory Bowel Disease Training: Challenges and Solutions.

Project description:BackgroundAdvanced inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) fellowships are available for gastroenterologists who wish to increase their expertise in complex IBD. However, little is known about the outcomes of such training. The aims of this study were to assess clinical and academic outcomes following advanced training in IBD.MethodsWe surveyed gastroenterologists who completed advanced IBD fellowships and compared competency and outcomes to gastroenterologists focusing in IBD who completed gastroenterology training alone. Participants completed a survey via REDCap. Continuous variables were compared using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Categorical variables were compared using chi-square or Fisher's exact tests.ResultsA total of 104 physicians participated in the study. IBD fellowships were completed by 31 physicians (30%), of whom 29 (94%) felt their training was excellent. Management of complicated IBD (84%), research mentoring (74%), and career mentoring (71%) were felt to contribute most highly to professional development. Compared to non-advanced trained physicians, advanced trained physicians expressed higher levels of comfort with management of IBD during pregnancy (P = 0.003), complicated IBD (P = 0.057), and peri-operative IBD (P = 0.057). No significant advantage was detected in academic productivity. Common barriers to participation in IBD fellowships included feeling it was unnecessary (45%) and desire to begin a faculty position (42%).ConclusionsThis study suggests there may be clinical benefit to advanced IBD training. Importantly, this study identified that there are also unique challenges to the assessment of clinical competency in IBD training. Efforts by the IBD community to establish a registry of advanced trainees and improve competency assessments are needed.

Health Care Transition Outcomes in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Multinational Delphi Study.

Project description:BackgroundTransition programmes are designed to prepare adolescent inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] patients for transfer to adult care. It is still unclear which outcome parameters define 'successful transition'. Therefore, this study aimed to identify outcomes important for success of transition in IBD.MethodsA multinational Delphi study in patients, IBD nurses, and paediatric and adult gastroenterologists was conducted. In stage 1, panellists commented on an outcome list. In stage 2, the refined list was graded from 1 to 9 [least to very important], by an expert and a patient panel. In stage 3, the expert panel ranked important outcomes from 1 to 10 [least to most important]. Descriptive statistics and Mann-Whitney U-tests were performed.ResultsThe final item list developed in stage 1 was tested by the expert [n = 74 participants, 52.7% paediatric] and patient panel [n = 61, aged 16-25 years, 49.2% male]. Respectively, ten and 11 items were found to be important by the expert and patient panel. Both panels agreed on eight of these items, of which six reflected self-management skills. In stage 3, the expert panel formed a top-ten list. The three most important items were: decision-making regarding IBD [mean score 6.7], independent communication [mean score 6.3] and patient satisfaction [mean score 5.8].ConclusionThis is the first study identifying outcomes that IBD healthcare providers and patients deem important factors for successful transition. Self-management skills were considered more important than IBD-specific items. This is a first step to further define success of transition in IBD and subsequently evaluate the efficacy of different transition models.

Transition care in inflammatory bowel disease: A needs assessment survey of Quebec gastroenterologists and allied nurses.

Project description:To determine the tools needed and problems encountered during the transition of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients from pediatric to adult gastroenterologists (GIs) in Québec, Canada.We conducted a needs assessment survey of Quebec health care professionals (HCPs). The survey was handed out to 136 Québec HCPs at a local conference in 2013. Additionally, it was emailed to any other HCPs in Quebec involved in caring for IBD patients. The completed surveys were compiled to derive descriptive data. Further specific subgroup analysis was then conducted.Among the conference attendees and individuals emailed 77 (28.2%) completed the questionnaire. Respondents included adult GIs (61.3%), pediatric GIs (20.8%) and IBD nurses (18.3%). The majority of respondents believed that a standardized structure is important for a successful transition. Adult and pediatric GIs equally felt that patients were inadequately prepared for the transition (P = 0.6). There were significant differences between adult and pediatric GIs when it came to resource availability (55.6% vs 90.9%, P = 0.002) and perceived need of a formal transition clinic (21.7% vs 68.8%, P = 0.0006). Both transition program and medical summaries were identified as the most valuable tools to improve transition.As described in previous studies, our survey reinforces the importance of a transition program, education for young adult IBD patients and the need to improve communication between adult and pediatric GIs.

Delivering inflammatory bowel disease care across distance.

Project description:BackgroundInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients living in regional or remote Queensland are often disadvantaged by limited access to IBD specialist care. Telehealth clinics could potentially address this disparity and improve patient outcomes.AimWe report the impact of the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital (RBWH) IBD telehealth clinics from March 2011 to December 2017, including patient satisfaction and healthcare activity.MethodsPatient satisfaction surveys were collected prospectively between March 2011 and March 2012. Healthcare activity was assessed through occasions of service (OOS), number of enrolled patients on biologics and IBD related admissions to RBWH.ResultsOverall, 3764 OOS were completed including 576 new patient and 3188 follow-up visits. Mean age at first telehealth visit was 44 years (range: 16-87 years). The IBD telehealth clinics were well accepted with 99% of the first 153 patients surveyed choosing to continue with telehealth and 94% rated the telehealth experience as very good or excellent. The net number of patients under active review increased from 125 patients in 2011 to 345 patients in 2017. Enrolled patients on biologics also increased from 9 patients in 2011 to 63 patients in 2017. There was an initial dip in annual IBD related admissions to RBWH in 2011 but these have progressively increased over time although the average length of inpatient stay annually has remained stable.ConclusionThe RBWH IBD telehealth clinics have shown that telemedicine is well received and can be used successfully to deliver IBD specialist care to patients living in regional or remote areas.

Transition from pediatric to adult medical care - A survey in young persons with inflammatory bowel disease.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Transition to adult health services is a vulnerable phase in young persons with chronic disease. We describe how young persons with inflammatory bowel disease in Germany and Austria experience care during the transitional age, focusing on differences by type of provider (pediatric vs. adult specialist, no specialist). METHODS:This was a follow up survey in patients previously registered with a pediatric IBD registry. Patients aged 15 to 25 received a postal questionnaire, including a measure of health care experience and satisfaction. Descriptive analyses were stratified by age. Sub-analyses in the 18-20 year age group compared health care experience by type of provider. Determinants of early or late transfer were examined using multinomial logistic regression. RESULTS:619 patients responded to the survey; 605 questionnaires were available for analysis. Usual age of completing transition was 18. Earlier transfer was more common with low parental SES (OR 1.8, 95% CI 0.7 to 4.6), and less common with advanced schooling (OR 0.5, 95% CI 0.2 to 1.2). Structured transition was uncommon. 48% of the respondents had not received any preceding transition advice. Overall satisfaction with IBD care was high, especially with respect to interpersonal aspects, but less so in aspects of continuity of care. CONCLUSIONS:Despite high overall patient satisfaction, relevant deficiencies in transitional care were documented. Some of these were associated with lower parental social status. Differences in health care satisfaction by type of provider (adult vs. pediatric) were small.

Inflammatory bowel disease

Project description:Samples for microarray analysis were derived from terminal ileum and colonic tissues from probands with Crohn´s disease and Ulcerative Colitis and control patients, respectively. IBD tissue biopsies from non-inflamed regions 10 cm distant from pathological areas were selected. To minimize inter-individual differences in gene expression and to enrich for IBD-specific transcriptional events, 2.5 µg of total RNA from terminal ileum and colon transversum from four individuals of each patient and control group were used for pooling.

Integrated Care Models: Optimizing Adult Ambulatory Care in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Project description:BackgroundInflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, is a chronic, complex and unpredictable disease affecting an increasing number of patients worldwide from a young age. Inflammatory bowel disease is associated with multiple comorbidities and complications, requiring ongoing preventative, acute and chronic care. The purpose of this article is to review the literature on outpatient care models used to treat adults with IBD and to gain insight on how to improve quality of care and reduce costs.MethodsA comprehensive review of recent literature on PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar databases about care models used to treat IBD was performed. Key terms included 'inflammatory bowel disease', 'organizational models', 'patient care team' and 'quality improvement'.ResultsStudies showed that an integrated care model decreases hospital admissions, IBD-related surgeries and comorbidities of IBD, ultimately decreasing direct and indirect costs of IBD compared with a more traditional patient-physician model. A gastroenterologist-led multidisciplinary team (MDT) involving comprehensive care by IBD nurses, a surgeon, psychologist, dietician, pharmacist, and other members as needed is recommended.ConclusionsA holistic approach to IBD care delivered by a MDT with structured monitoring, active follow-up, patient education and prompt access to care improves outcomes for IBD patients. More research is needed on the cost-effectiveness of integrated care models to demonstrate long-term value and secure funding for implementation. Future research should compare integrated models of care and assess patient and physician satisfaction in these models of delivering IBD care.

The Importance and Challenges of Dietary Intervention Trials for Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

Project description:Inflammatory bowel disease is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental stimuli such as our diet. Diets high in meat and fats and low in fruits and vegetables have been associated with new-onset inflammatory bowel disease. This has triggered interest in using dietary modification as a treatment. The 3 principle models of dietary intervention are supplementation with selected dietary components, exclusion of selected dietary components, or use of dietary formulas in place of a normal diet. Despite the high level of interest in dietary interventions as a treatment for inflammatory bowel disease, few well-designed clinical trials have been conducted to firmly establish the optimal diet to induce or maintain remission. This may be in part related to the challenges of conducting dietary intervention trials. This review examines these challenges and potential approaches to be used in dietary intervention trials.
