Ralley Prentice Bincy Abraham, MD, MS IBD Horizons Maia Kayal MD Britt Christensen, MBBS MPH PhD Jill Gaidos, MD Marita Kametas Madhuri Badrinath Catherine Bonnar Jessica Philpott PIANO True but,,, also true that the greatest pregnancy risk is uncontrolled disease, which is > than any medication (except Mtx). I am comfortable extrapolating from other IgG1 mAbs or USTK as far as the safety of Risa. I lose a lot more sleep over flares during 🤰. Need for speed
Michael Chiorean Bincy Abraham, MD, MS IBD Horizons Maia Kayal MD Britt Christensen, MBBS MPH PhD Jill Gaidos, MD Marita Kametas Madhuri Badrinath Catherine Bonnar Jessica Philpott Michael Chiorean very reasonable if not 🤰, however IL-23 safety data in🤰not there yet and steroids associated with ⬆️ adverse neonatal outcomes (again from PIANO), which is while I’d try EEN + direct to anti-TNF without steroid if pt can tolerate gut.bmj.com/content/71/9/1…

Which is FALSE regarding #Jpouch #IPAA expectations:
A. Pts have ~4-5 bm at night
B. >50% of pts have no urgency

👂Listen to the pt in front of you, don't instill bias
🖐️Digital exam very important part of surgical procedure
