AI Pathology Study

We are studying how to make medical test results easier for patients to understand. Pathology reports, which explain what doctors find in tissue samples, are often written for medical professionals and can be hard for patients to read. In this study, we are testing whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help explain these reports in plain language. Patients having a routine screening procedure will read a sample report with or without an AI-generated explanation. Then they will answer questions about how well they understood the report and how they felt about it. We want to learn if using AI helps people better understand their health information and feel more confident making decisions. This will help improve the way test results are shared in the future.

1 Zymfentra (Infliximab-dyyb) REal World Cohort STudy

1. Create a prospective cohort of well-phenotyped adult CD, UC and IBDU patients with serial clinical and patient-reported data collected throughout 12 months of Zymfentra (IFX -dyyb) therapy. 2. To determine clinical response and remission rates, course of stool calprotectin values and persistence of therapy with Zymfentra (IFX -dyyb) for induction and maintenance therapy. 3. Assess the correlation of various outcome measures in CD, UC or IBDU (short Crohn's disease activity index (sCDAI), Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index (SCCAI), Urgency score, Fatigue,SIBDQ, PROMIS measures for depression, anxiety, and social satisfaction and work productivity and activity impairment. 4. Assess the effect of Zymfentra (IFX-dyyb) on patient reported fistula symptoms in patients with CD with pre-existing perianal fistulizing disease. 5. Assess persistence and need for dose escalation therapy of Zymfentra (IFX-dyyb). 6. Assessment of trough levels taken in the setting of standard of care before and after start of Zymfentra (IFX-dyyb).
