Abstract Background Transition of adolescents from pediatric to adult care is of great importance in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Our aim was to review and summarize the currently applied interventions and outcomes related to transition practices in IBD. Methods A systematic review was performed in accordance with the PRISMA Statement. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, CENTRAL, and Web of Science databases up to February 15, 2019. Controlled studies evaluating adolescents and young adults with IBD participating in structured transition interventions or patient educational programs and single-arm (before-after) studies were included. Several individual, health care, and social outcomes were assessed. The PROSPERO registration number is CRD42019118520. Results A total of 23 articles were eligible for qualitative synthesis. Eleven studies compared an intervention to a control group, whilst 12 studies were uncontrolled before-after studies. The age of the participants varied from 11 to 25 years. The most common structured transition interventions were joint visits and patient education programs. IBD nurses were operating as nominated transition coordinators in the transition process. Quality of life, patient satisfaction, self-efficacy, disease-specific knowledge, adherence rate, and nonattendance rate at outpatient clinic were identified as main health care transition outcomes besides disease-related outcomes. Despite the various study designs and methodological limitations, outcomes improved with the application of structured transition interventions in eleven of the studies. Conclusion These results facilitate the design of randomized controlled trials along better standards in transitional care in IBD.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disease mediated by the immune system and characterized by the inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. This study is to understand how the use of parenteral nutrition (PN) can affect the adult population diagnosed with IBD. We conducted a systematic review, meta-analysis and a meta-regression. On the different databases, (MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane, LILACS, CINAHL, WOS) we found 119 registers, the accuracy was 16% (19 registers); After a Full-text review, only 15 research studies were selected for qualitative synthesis and 10 for Meta-analysis and Meta-regression. The variables used were Crohn’s Disease Activity Index (CDAI), albumin, body weight (BW) and post-operative complications (COM). PN has shown to have efficacy for the treatment of IBD and is compatible with other medicines. The CDAI and albumin improve although the effect of PN are greater after a while. However, the effect on the albumin could be less than the observed value in the meta-analysis, due to a possible publication bias. The BW does not change after intervention. COM utilizing PN has been observed, although the proportion is low.

Inflammatory Bowel

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disease mediated by the immune system and characterized by the importance of diet in pathological development. This study aims to understand how the use of predefined diets can affect the adult population diagnosed with IBD. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis. From the different databases (MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane, LILACS, CINAHL, and WOS), we found 4195 registers. After a review process, only 31 research studies were selected for qualitative synthesis and 10 were selected for meta-analysis. The variables used were Crohn’s Disease Activity Index (CDAI) for patients with Crohn’s Disease (CD) and fecal calprotectin (FC), C-Reactive Protein (CRP), and albumin (ALB) for patients with IBD. Predefined diets have been shown to have partial efficacy for the treatment of IBD and are compatible with other medical treatments. CDAI improved but with reasonable doubts due to the high heterogeneity of the data, while no differences were observed for ALB, FC, and CRP. More studies that evaluate the influence of predefined diets on IBD patients are needed due to the great variability in diets and the tools used to measure their effects.

ObjectiveDeveloping and evaluating effective transition interventions for young people (16–25 years) with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a high priority. While transition clinics (TCs) have been recommended, little is known about their operating structures and outcomes. This study aimed to gain insight into the value of a TC compared with direct handover care.DesignControlled mixed-methods evaluation of process outcomes, clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcomes.SettingTwo outpatient IBD clinics in the Netherlands.ParticipantsData collection included: semistructured interviews with professionals (n=8), observations during consultations with young people (5×4 hours), medical chart reviews of patients transferred 2 to 4 years prior to data collection (n=56 in TC group; n=54 in control group) and patient questionnaires (n=14 in TC group; n=19 in control group).OutcomesData were collected on service structures and daily routines of the TC, experienced barriers, facilitators and benefits, healthcare use, clinical outcomes, self-management outcomes and experiences and satisfaction of young people with IBD.ResultsAt the TC, multidisciplinary team meetings and alignment of care between paediatric and adult care providers were standard practice. Non-medical topics received more attention during consultations with young people at the TC. Barriers experienced by professionals were time restrictions, planning difficulties, limited involvement of adult care providers and insufficient financial coverage. Facilitators experienced were high professional motivation and a high case load. Over the year before transfer, young people at the TC had more planned consultations (p=0.015, Cohen’s d=0.47). They showed a positive trend in better transfer experiences and more satisfaction. Those in direct handover care more often experienced a relapse before transfer (p=0.003) and had more missed consultations (p=0.034, Cohen’s d=−0.43) after transfer.ConclusionA TC offer opportunities to improve transitional care, but organisational and financial barriers need to be addressed before guidelines and consensus statements in healthcare policy and daily practice can be effectively implemented.

Abstract Background The incidence of childhood-onset inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) diagnoses is increasing in Canada; therefore, more patients will need to transition from pediatric into adult care. The literature on transition in IBD patients has focused mainly on preparation and while transition success is often referenced, it is not clearly defined. Prior research on IBD transition success has only focused on the perspectives of the health care providers. Taking into consideration that transition is a process that greatly relies on patient involvement, patient perspectives should be represented in defining its success. Aims The primary aim is to understand patients’ perspectives on the outcomes that characterize a successful transition from pediatric to adult care. Methods This study paired a theoretical position of naturalistic inquiry with the method of qualitative description. Purposive sampling was used to recruit patients from IBD clinics at the University of Alberta and the University of Calgary. Inclusion criteria included transition within the last two years, diagnoses with IBD for at least a year prior to transitioning, and absence of comorbidities. Virtual semi-structured interviews were conducted using an established interview guide. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and then analyzed concurrently with data collection by latent content analysis using NVivo computer software. Participant recruitment and data analysis continued until no further themes emerged from the data, which signaled that thematic saturation was achieved. Results Thematic saturation was achieved after 17 interviews. Among participants, 58.8% were female; 47% had a diagnosis of Crohn’s, 47% of ulcerative colitis, and one individual was diagnosed with both. The median age at diagnosis was 15 years (IQR, 3.5). The majority (94%) of participants viewed their transition as being successful. Overall, the major themes that emerged from the data were: 1. relationship with one’s adult care team, characterized predominantly as the patient being comfortable with their new team; 2. health outcomes, characterized by disease remaining stable, and medication adherence; 3. independence in one’s care, characterized by making and attending appointments on their own, asking questions and in general having an awareness about your health and disease; 4. care stability, characterized by no drop off in care, and regular contact and follow up by their provider. Conclusions Young adults with IBD define pediatric transition success in four themes: relationship with care team, health outcomes, independence in one’s care, and care stability. Through understanding what transition success looks like from the patients’ perspectives, health care providers can help patients achieve success as they define it. Funding Agencies None
