In this episode of Bowel Sounds, hosts Drs. Temara Hajjat, Peter Lu, and Jason Silverman talk to Dr. Jeffrey Hyams about the management of pediatric patients with IBD. We begin by hearing how he developed his passion for not only IBD but also functional GI disorders — and how he became the first author of the Rome IV criteria. We then ask the expert himself how he approaches the management of pediatric patients with ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. We briefly touch on new therapies in IBD. Finally, we discuss controversial topics in the management of patients with IBD.
Learning objectives:
1. Learning how to choose therapy for patients newly diagnosed with IBD
2. Learning about the concept treat to target
3. Learning about when to hold IBD therapy prior to surgery
4. Learning about indications and side effects of different IBD medications including small molecules, Thiopuriens, and 5ASAs.
5. Learning about when to proceed to colectomy
6. Learning about how to approach a patient requesting stopping therapy.
