Abstract
OBJECTIVES The perceptions and attitudes of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients towards pregnancy may affect their fertility plan and disease progression. We performed a nationwide multicenter survey of pregnancy-related knowledge among gastroenterologists and IBD patients in China to investigate whether specific educational interventions could improve their understanding and broadly influence fertility plan. METHODS A cross-sectional questionnaire regarding pregnancy-specific knowledge was carried out among 63 IBD centers in China. Questionnaires were collected from 185 physicians and 609 patients. The patients then received education regarding pregnancy during IBD and filled in the same questionnaire again. Their knowledge regarding pregnancy during IBD was compared before and after education. RESULTS Compared to physicians, patients' knowledge regarding fertility (39.1% vs 70.8%), imaging examinations (22.8% vs 72.4%), endoscopy performed during pregnancy (19.9% vs 71.4%), and vaccination for infants (16.6% vs 46.5%) was significantly more limited (all P < 0.001). There was a lack of knowledge among gastroenterologists regarding the delivery mode (36.8%), medications (36.8%), and emergency surgery (26.5%) during pregnancy in patients with IBD. After education, the patients showed significant improvement in knowledge regarding medications (26.7% vs 51.7%), fertility (45.0% vs 63.3%), heritability (40.0% vs 58.3%), indications for emergency surgery (15.0% vs 53.3%), imaging examinations during pregnancy (20.0% vs 40.0%), and vaccinations for infants (26.7% vs 45.0%) (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Pregnancy-specific IBD knowledge needs to be improved among certain gastroenterologists and patients in China. Educational interventions can partially improve the knowledge levels of the patients.

Abstract
Background The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is rapidly increasing in China, a vast country with significant geographical differences. The socioeconomic status of Eastern China is significantly higher than that of Western China. Objectives This study aimed to describe the geographical heterogeneity in the characteristics and management of patients with IBD in both Eastern and Western China. Design This was a multicenter, cross-sectional study. Methods Patients with IBD with ages ⩾18 years up to 18 January 2023 were included in the analysis from the Chinese database for IBD. Logistic regression was used to identify risk factors associated with surgeries among patients with IBD. Results Among 8305 patients with IBD, the ratio of ulcerative colitis (UC) to Crohn's disease (CD) was 4.13 and 0.33 in Western and Eastern China, respectively. The median age at diagnosis of UC and CD was 40.69 and 28.58 years, respectively. There was a male predominance among patients with UC (54.3%) and CD (68.0%). The two regions exhibited a similar distribution of disease locations in UC. However, Western China had a higher proportion of L2 involvement (30.0% versus 19.1%) and more advanced disease behavior (B2 and B3) (48.8% versus 39.8%) than Eastern China. Patients with IBD in Western China received more 5-aminosalicylic acid and corticosteroids and fewer immunomodulators and biologicals. In terms of surgical risk, Eastern China [versus Western China, odds ratios (OR): 5.36, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 2.96-9.68] was associated with a higher risk of surgery in UC, while Western China (versus Eastern China, OR: 3.39, 95% CI: 2.37-4.86) was associated with a higher risk of surgery in CD. Conclusion Geographical heterogeneity exists in the disease characteristics and management of IBD in Eastern and Western China. These findings have the potential to guide the formulation of location-specific strategies aimed at enhancing the long-term outcomes of patients with IBD.

Abstract
The pandemic of COVID-19 was a major public health events and had a deeply impact on the healthcare acquired by patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term impacts on healthcare service in Chinese IBD patients under the dynamic zero-COVID strategy. The study was performed in the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Quality of Care Centers in mainland China in 2021. The data about the healthcare was collected by a 44-item questionnaire. Totally 463 were from ulcerative colitis (UC) patients and 538 from Crohn's disease (CD) patients were included in the study. The pandemic impacted 37.5% patients on their treatment, and the biggest problem was unable to follow up timely (77.9%). There was a significant increase in healthcare costs in CD (P < 0.001) and no significant change in UC (P = 0.14) after the outbreak. Both UC and CD had an increase in the frequency of outpatient visits (UC 5.07 vs. 4.54, P = 0.001; CD 6.30 vs. 5.76, P = 0.002), and hospitalizations (UC 1.30 vs. 1.02, P < 0.001; CD 3.55 vs. 2.78, P < 0.001). The hospitalization rate in UC reduced slightly (40.2% vs. 42.8%, P = 0.423) after the outbreak, but it significantly increased in CD (75.8% vs. 67.8%, P = 0.004). The rate of biologics had significant increased (UC 11.2% vs. 17.7%, P = 0.005; CD 53.2% vs. 71.0%, P < 0.001). Besides, the proportion of people using telemedicine also increased from 41.6% to 55.1% (P < 0.001). However, 82.8% patients still preferred face-to-face visits. Recurrent outbreaks and the regular pandemic prevention and control policy had a long-term impact on medical care service for IBD patients. The preferred mode of healthcare was still face-to-face visit. It will be a long way to go in the construction of telemedicine in China.

Abstract
Background Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic lifelong disease. The disease extent of UC can progress over time. This study aimed to assess whether cumulative inflammatory burden (CIB) is associated with disease extension in distal UC (proctitis [E1] and left-sided colitis [E2]) patients, and to develop a quantified indicator of CIB. Methods In this retrospective study based on a prospective registry, distal UC patients receiving colonoscopies in Xijing Hospital (Xi’an, China) from January 2000 to May 2019 were studied. We developed a new score, namely the time-adjusted average Mayo endoscopic score (TA-MES), calculated as dividing the sum of the cumulative average MES over a period of surveillance time by the length of the endoscopic examination interval, to quantify the CIB. Cox regression was used to identify other potential risk factors. Results A total of 295 UC patients were followed for 1,487.02 patient-years. Among them, 140 patients (47.5%) experienced disease extension. Multivariate analysis showed that the TA-MES was significantly associated with disease extension in E1 (hazard ratio [HR], 2.90; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.58–5.33, P = 0.001) and E2 (HR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.16–3.09, P = 0.011) patients. Other risk factors included hemoglobin of <90 g/L and appendiceal skip inflammation; the protective factors included age, E2 at diagnosis, former smoking, and 5-aminosalicylic acid dose. Otherwise, MES at diagnosis, maximal MES, and mean MES failed to estimate the risk of disease extension. Conclusion TA-MES is a good quantified indicator of CIB and is independently associated with increased disease extension in distal UC patients. Whether the dynamic multiple scoring system could be used as a risk factor in other chronic relapsing–remitting diseases is a direction for future research.
