IBD Resources for Clinicians/IBD Tweets

May 25, 2017 7:01 am

• From Stanford Pediatric GI team –Infliximab dosing calculator.  This tool helps decide whether/how to adjust dosing of infliximab.

Another website with a few useful resources:

• Steroid taper calendar -helps develop a calendar (can use to print out or take a picture)
• Imaging risk calculator -this is not that great.  In essence if you have a patient present to ER with a CRP of 1 mg/dL and ESR of 20, it states that risk of a complication like a perforation is “NOT LOW” and to consider imaging
• IBD School Video collection -links to UM website

Note -therapeutic drug monitoring may be more useful in children due to their changing size.
