Consensus provides guidance for managing extraintestinal manifestations in inflammatory bowel disease in China, highlighting effective evaluation methods.
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract that primarily includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Beyond the typical gastrointestinal symptoms, IBD is frequently associated with various extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) affecting organs such as joints, skin, eyes, and the hepatobiliary system. As the prevalence of IBD rises in China, the identification and management of EIMs have become increasingly important. However, there is currently variation among Chinese physicians in their attention to, comprehensive assessment of, and management of EIMs in IBD. Therefore, this consensus aims to provide guidance for the systematic evaluation and multidisciplinary management of IBD-associated EIMs.
