Course Information:
Anemia associated with iron deficiency and disease activity is the most common complication in patients with IBD and leads to reduced quality of life and increased healthcare resource use. Despite published practice guidelines and quality measures for anemia in IBD, screening and management of anemia among IBD patients is suboptimal.

Using clinical case scenarios, this activity (second in the series) will improve learners’ knowledge and competence regarding the
• Recognition and significance of anemia in general and in adult patients with IBD
• Impact of anemia on the quality of life of patients with IBD
• Significance of anemia as an indicator of disease activity
• Anemia care pathways and the need for actively supported anemia treatment with different IBD regimens

Learning Objectives:
• Describe the factors that contribute to the development of anemia in adult patients with IBD
• Identify the signs and symptoms of anemia and describe the impact on adult patients with IBD.
• Assess strategies to treat iron-deficiency anemia and anemia of chronic disease in adult patients with IBD to optimize IBD treatment and improve quality of life.
• Evaluate how an anemia care pathway can be incorporated into practice to improve screening, evaluation, treatment and follow-up care of anemia in adult patients with IBD.

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
