Summary

This study observed 92 adults with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who were receiving vedolizumab either as an intravenous infusion or a subcutaneous injection. Researchers tracked treatment patterns, such as whether patients stayed on their current form or switched, over 12 months. The goal was to understand real-world choices and outcomes without influencing how patients were treated.
