ABSTRACT

In order to improve the care of patients with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the currently valid guidelines of the German Society for Gastroenterology, Digestive and Metabolic Diseases (DGVS) on Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis were extended within a virtual conference to include current and practically relevant recommendations. The addendum addresses in particular the risk of COVID-19 infections in patients with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases, the diagnostics under the conditions of the pandemic, the consequences for the pharmacotherapy and operative treatment of the underlying disease. It also addresses general measures for protection against infections and for adjunctive treatment of patients with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases.

ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic is a global outbreak of new onset infections with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. To date, more than 3.4 million people have been infected throughout the world. In Germany, approximately 450,000 patients suffer from inflammatory bowel disease; these patients generally require continuous expert care and support. Against the background of a rapidly accumulating knowledge base on SARS-CoV-2, 68 expert authors of the current DGVS guidelines for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis took part in a virtual meeting to compile up-to-date, practice-orientated recommendations aimed at improving the care of patients with IBD. These recommendations address the risk of infection, including the risk for specific patient groups, the possible course of the disease, and consequences for pharmacological and surgical therapies of the underlying disease, as well as general measures for infection prevention and adjuvant prophylactic and therapeutic options.
