    Background: Patients with Crohn's disease experience major deterioration in work productivity and quality of life. We aimed to provide the long-term effects of anti-tumor necrosis factor agents on work productivity and activity impairment and quality of life in patients with Crohn's disease using the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire and the Short-Form Health Survey-36. Methods: Patients with Crohn's disease and initiated an anti-tumor necrosis factor treatment were included and followed up for 12 months in this observational study. Results: A total of 106 patients were included in this study, and 64.2% of the patients were males. Mean [+/- standard deviation] age was 36.8 [+/- 10.9] years. At baseline, mostly perianal fistulas [65.7%] were observed [n = 23]. Intestinal stenosis was detected in 34.9% of the patients [n = 37], and most of the stenosis was located in the ileum [70.6%] followed by the colon [20.6%]. Extraintestinal symptoms were observed in 24 patients [22.6%]. Most frequent extraintestinal symptom was arthritis with 71.4% [n = 15]. Mean time from first symptom to initiation of anti-tumor necrosis factor treatment was 6.3 [+/- 5.0] years. Improvements in work productivity and activity impairment scores throughout 12 months were -24.1% [P =.003] for work time missed, -18.0% [P =.006] for impairment at work, -8.5% [P =.160] for overall work impairment, and -17.0% [P <.001] for daily activity impairment. Similarly, significant improvements [P <.001] were detected in all components of the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire when compared to baseline. Statistically significant improvements [P <.05] were detected for all components of Short-Form Health Survey-36 except for mental health [P =.095]. Conclusion: Our study indicates the significant improvement in work productivity and activity impairment and quality of life of patients with Crohn's disease who receive long-term anti-tumor necrosis factor treatment.

    Turkish IBD Organization's Position Statement on Inflammatory Bowel Disease Management Recommendations During COVID-19 Pandemic
    (Aves, 2021) Toruner, Murat; Kalkan, Ismail Hakki; Akyuz, Filiz; Tezel, Ahmet; Celik, Aykut Ferhat
    The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, has resulted in high mortality and morbidity worldwide and is still a growing problem. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disease for which a substantial number of patients are treated with immunosuppressive medications, either occasionally or long-term. Despite the accumulating evidence, there is still a lack of knowledge about the impact of COVID-19 on IBD patients, especially those who are under immunosuppressive treatment. Moreover, following the emergence of several COVID vaccines, there are concerns regarding vaccine effectiveness and possible side effects in such patients. In this context, we tried to briefly summarize the accumulating evidence and recommendations for the management of IBD in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
