Why do people with Crohn's and Colitis flare?

This is the fundamental question we set out to answer when we started the PREdiCCt study in 2016.

On Tuesday, the first major results will be published in @Gut_BMJ

We wanted to look beyond just the clinical data. We focused on the environment: diet, lifestyle, exercise, sleep, and stress. By combining these factors with the microbiome and genetics, we aimed to understand the true drivers of disease activity over time.

This has been a decade in the making.

We recruited 2,629 patients across 49 adult and pediatric sites before the pandemic halted recruitment in March 2020. Since then, our team has been busy assimilating years of follow up data. Most participants have now been followed for over four years.

In this video, I talk through the background and design of the study. It represents a massive collective effort from clinical trials units, statisticians, and project managers.

Most importantly, it represents the dedication of the people living with IBD who gave their time to this research. Our goal is to provide the evidence needed to help patients stay in deep remission and to help clinical teams provide better, more personalized care.

I look forward to sharing the findings with you this week.

Can’t believe 6 months of intern year have gone by. General surgery is intense — the workload is heavy and exhausting. Balancing residency, research, and everything else outside the hospital has been a huge challenge. Excited for what’s ahead! #internyear #residency #surgery
