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.
