Does inflammatory bowel disease have different characteristics according to stage of adolescence?
Kata Judit SzántóTamás BalázsDóra Mihonné SchrempfKlaudia FarkasTamás MolnárPublished in: Therapeutic advances in gastroenterology (2021)
Our data suggest differences in the treatment strategies of gastroenterologists for these age groups. The greater need of anti-TNF therapy among the middle adolescent group indicates that adolescent patients before the transition to adult care may have a more severe disease phenotype. We expect that a strategy of early, effective treatment will significantly ameliorate the subsequent disease course, which is manifested in adult care.
