Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are children under 18 years with a confirmed diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with colitis other than inflammatory bowel disease or those with systemic diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on children under 18 years old who have been diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It involves collecting detailed medical histories, conducting physical examinations, and performing laboratory tests, including fecal calprotectin and CRP, as well as endoscopic evaluations of the gastrointestinal tract. The aim is to identify clinical characteristics and risk factors associated with IBD in this population. The findings may help improve understanding and management of IBD in children.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the diagnosis and treatment strategies for children suffering from inflammatory bowel diseases.
How similar studies have gone: While similar studies have been conducted, this specific observational approach focusing on children at Assiut University is relatively novel.
