From clinical practice guideline development to trial registration: A systematic investigation of research pipeline for inflammatory bowel disease

ConclusionThis study used clinical practice guidelines to help determine areas of needed research in  IBD, UC, and Crohn’s disease. By searching trial registries and articles indexed on PubMed, we identified the extent to which studies were being conducted to address research gaps. Of the gaps identified, five recommendations received most of the attention. While most of the significant gaps ha d some recent or ongoing research, our study found several areas where investigation is still needed. Clinical practice guidelines are an effective method to prioritize future research.
