ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Airway Involvement In Inflammatory Bowel Disease," aims to understand how often lung injuries occur in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), even if they don’t have noticeable symptoms. Researchers will also look into how the activity of IBD might affect the airways in the lungs. The study is not yet recruiting participants, but it is designed for adults aged 18 and older who are receiving care at the IBD clinic at the Tropical Department.

To participate, individuals must be diagnosed with IBD and attend the clinic, but those who are younger than 18 or are in unstable health requiring intensive care will not be eligible. Participants can expect to undergo tests to check their lung health and how it relates to their IBD. This trial is important as it could help improve the understanding of how IBD affects not just the digestive system but also the lungs, potentially leading to better care for patients with this condition.
