Despite incredible growth in systems of care and rapidly expanding therapeutic options for people with inflammatory bowel disease, there are significant barriers that prevent patients from benefiting from these advances. These barriers include restrictions in the form of prior authorization, step therapy, and prescription drug coverage. Furthermore, inadequate use of multidisciplinary care and IBD specialists limits patients access to high quality care, particularly for medically vulnerable populations.

Antibiotic exposure and risk of new-onset inflammatory bowel disease: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis
The association between antibiotic exposure and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains controversial, especially whether there is a dose-response relationship. We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to thoroughly evaluate the risk of new-onset IBD associated with antibiotic exposure. (Source: Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology)

Global prevalence of pancreatic cystic lesions in the general population on magnetic resonance imaging: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Understanding the burden of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) in the general population is important for clinicians and policymakers. In this systematic review, we sought to estimate the global prevalence of PCLs using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to investigate factors that contribute to its variation.

Approaching Digestive Health Care in Transgender and Gender-Diverse Communities
Transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) people are more likely than cisgender people to experience adverse health outcomes and health care discrimination. These disparities remain uninvestigated in gastroenterology (GI) and hepatology. Here, we describe what is known about digestive clinical care in TGD people. Practical considerations are offered to assist in the provision of culturally humble care to TGD people. (Source: Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology)
