Abstract:

Pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (PIBD) refers to a group of chronic and recurrent intestinal inflammatory diseases with unidentified cause. The complexity of its pathogenesis presents ongoing challenges in diagnosis and treatment. In recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in the prevalence of IBD among children both domestically and internationally, which has aroused widespread concern among pediatricians. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the pathogenesis in pediatric IBD, a turbo-charged treat to target strategy in IBD, as well as the transition of management in adolescents with IBD. Its findings can serve as a valuable reference for Chinese pediatricians engaged in IBD research.

Key words: pediatric, inflammatory bowel disease, pathogenesis, treat to target, transition of management
