“…To assist triaging IBD surveillance procedures in the recovery period, the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) suggest risk stratification using faecal occult blood test in combination with faecal calprotectin. Further, those at highest risk of dysplasia should be prioritised, including those with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), previous IBD-related dysplasia, and severe disease [ 12 ]. There is no data to date, quantifying the impact of the pandemic on the on the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused extended global disruption and changed healthcare behaviour and delivery in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, many of whom take immune modifying treatment. Although there were fears about the vulnerability of IBD patients to SARS-CoV-2 infection, we have learnt that overall IBD patients are equivalent to the general population in both viral acquisition and infection outcomes. Overall IBD patients obtain effective vaccine-induced immune responses, although in some groups an additional vaccine dose is required to constitute a primary course. The pandemic has led to significant changes in healthcare delivery, some of which will be enduring. As we grapple with the challenges of recovery, the lessons learnt will continue to be important in optimising outcomes in future outbreaks.
