The largest population-based study on sexual dysfunction among patients with IBD using the Danish SEXUS cohort has just been published in the Inflammatory Bowel Disease journal.
Our results indicate need for incorporation of sexual health in IBD care.

Our new study in @jinternmed.bsky.social shows that statin use is associated with a 16% reduction in the risk of IBD development. The findings suggest a potential additional benefit of statins and support further research into their role in IBD prevention.

In a new study in the Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, we validated IBD diagnosis date and disease location from the Danish national registries - using records from the regional clinical North Denmark IBD cohort (NorDIBD) as the gold standard.

Linéa Bonfils defended her PhD thesis
During her research, she found 1) multi-organ involvement in IBD up to 10 years prior to diagnosis; 2) paternal IBD to be almost as great a risk factor for IBD as maternal IBD during pregnancy, and 3) date of diagnosis in the Danish health registers to be valid
