Are we addressing the top 10 research priorities in IBD?

Abstract

This study presents an impression of the breadth of the IBD-research landscape in the UK, in light of the top 10 research priorities published in 2016. Optimal treatment strategy has been the most studied research priority by academic and industry-sponsored trials. Fewer studies focused on patient-reported outcomes. It remains debatable to what extent the current research landscape adequately represents all stakeholders' viewpoints on needs for expanded knowledge in IBD, particularly the patients' perspective.
