What this trial studies

This observational study aims to develop and validate a relapse prediction model for patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) by utilizing Patient Reported Outcome Measurements (PROMs) alongside clinical and biochemical data. The study will analyze data from two prospective cohorts of adult IBD patients to correlate prediction scores with medication types, inflammatory markers, and dietary intake. The goal is to enhance daily care management through personalized risk-based care pathways over a follow-up period of 24 months.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adult patients diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease who can provide informed consent and use a smartphone.

Not a fit: Patients under 18 years old or those unable to adhere to the study protocol will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more personalized and effective management of IBD, reducing the frequency and severity of flare-ups.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using predictive models for chronic conditions, suggesting potential success for this approach in IBD management.
