IBD and parenthood - Survey on couples with IBD and their offspring
Iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) are conditions frequently observed in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and require appropriate treatment. This study investigated patient and physician perspectives on the management of these conditions.
Since about 2015 the issue on biologics and biosimilars has received a lot of attention from the medical, regulatory and patient community. Licensing rights of biological medicines used in the treatment not only of IBD but also other autoimmune modulated diseases are coming to an end and biosimilars medicines are being developed to compete with original biological treatment options. In various countries in the EU and elsewhere biosimilars have already entered the market.

Although inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) significantly impact the patient's quality of life, no European-level data exists on patients’ perspectives. The primary objective of this survey was to obtain an international perspective of the impact of IBD on patients’ lives. Secondary objectives included obtaining a better understanding of the quality of care, access to care, and differences between countries, age groups, and sub-groups of IBD.
