What this trial studies
This registry collects identifiable medical record information from patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) at the Center for Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Patients provide informed consent to include their data in the registry, which will facilitate retrospective research studies and help identify eligible subjects for future research. The goal is to better classify IBD and understand its natural course, potentially leading to improved therapies and preventive measures.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and above seeking care for Inflammatory Bowel Disease at the Center.
Not a fit: Patients who are under 18 or not seeking care for IBD will not benefit from this registry.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this registry could enhance understanding of IBD and lead to better treatment options for patients.
How similar studies have performed: Other registries focused on chronic diseases have shown success in improving understanding and treatment options, indicating potential for this approach.
