Močić-Pavić A.: inflammatory bowel disease

ESPGHAN Podcast - A podcast by ESPGHAN

Dr. Alex Knisely is talking today to Dr. Ana Močić-Pavić, of Zagreb, whose great love is hollow-viscus work – inflammatory bowel disease, its demographics and its manifestations, particularly in Croatia, where she has been prominent among the teams that validated in Croatian children the utility of Impact-III scoring, that set up the first IBD registry in Croatia, and – this was a first not just for Croatia, but world-wide – that documented altered eating patterns and nutritional status in children when IBD was first diagnosed rather than after treatment had begun. That’s ten-plus years of professional activity in one sentence ! In this podcast, you’ll learn the details of those studies and have a chance to think about their implications for your IBD patients and for general paediatricians’ approaches to care.
