Dig Dis Sci: Wearable Biosensor Predicts Hospitalization Length After Intestinal Surgery in IBD Patients

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a chronic progressive bowel disease that may worsen over time
.

Surgical intervention is required to treat the development of bowel obstruction, perforation, refractory bleeding, or cancer in patients with IBD

In addition, sleep is considered critical for recovery during hospitalization

Researchers at the University of Chicago School of Medicine conducted a prospective study that screened patients over the age of 18 with a diagnosis of UC or CD

 

The final sample included 37 patients

Patients with more severe complications may benefit more from increased walking (ie, reduced postoperative hospital stay)
