Short update on progress so far: A systematic review has been completed which found no papers that fitted the selection criteria. The retrospective audit of patient outcomes in pregnancy was delayed due to COVID19 but was concluded in Autumn 2019. This was undertaken at IBD centres across the UK and included all patients with a stoma for IBD who had had a pregnancy since 2014. The data is currently being analysed and a paper written for publication. The data gathered is the largest data set ever on this patient cohort. The next stage of the study is a patient questionnaire, and we will shortly be applying for ethics and hope that this will launch in early summer.
