At #DDW2025, Nofel Iftikhar shared findings on disparities in pain management for IBD patients who underwent bowel resection. Hispanic patients were less likely than NHW patients to receive opioids, gabapentinoids, and antispasmodics, despite similar surgery rates.

#DDW2025 Dr. Ali Aalam:
Using representative data from the NEDS database (2012–2021), our study quantifies the growing burden of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis patients presenting to EDs, highlighting how major complications and comorbidities impact admission rates.

At #DDW2025, Tomas Potlach identified demographic predictors of opioid exposure in IBD patients with history of bowel obstructions. Hispanic ethnicity, male sex, Crohn’s disease, and age >=65 were independent risk factors for opioid exposure.

Just @tomaspotlach at it again at #DDW2025!

For the first time, researchers at the University of Florida explored access to advanced IBD therapies in Epic Cosmos, a national electronic health record dataset covering 277 million lives in the United States.

At #DDW2025, Chelsea Salmon shared how UF IBD health liaisons are able to capture information on patients’ occupational function and social lives— which is sometimes missed in routine clinical visits.

@UF_IBD @chelcsalmon @Naueen @tomaspotlach Great work Chelsea!

#DDW2025 “My research studied the association between resistant infections and patients with a history of IBD and long-term antibiotic use. Our results showed increased odds of various infection types based on steroid use, select antibiotic use, IBD treatment, and demographics.”

@JeremyAdlerMD There are many wonderful things about DDW but the very best is connecting with former trainees who are now leaders in their field! #DDW2025 #NASPGHAN #Improvecarenow
