Research

The pediatric gastroenterology division at Hasbro Children's Hospital is a research center for the Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Registry.

The Pediatric IBD Collaborative Research Group (PIBD CRG) formed the IBD Registry to gather demographics, clinical and laboratory information, as well as responsiveness to treatment data on children newly diagnosed with IBD.

Twenty-one centers throughout the United States and Canada have enrolled more than 600 children to participate in the study. This prospective, observational research program will examine treatments and quality-of-life outcomes to gain a better understanding of how these issues impact children newly diagnosed with IBD.
