Description

Abstract:: There are a variety of medications used to control the symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Adherence early in disease course to two commonly prescribed medications, mercaptopurine (6-MP) and mesalamine (5-ASA), may be associated with fewer disease complications over time. We examined the relationship of adherence to 6-MP and 5-ASA during the first six months after IBD diagnosis with measures of disease complication including hospital encounters, surgical resections, and corticosteroid use in children and adolescents over a median 6.4 years of follow-up.
