    Do Medicines for Inflammatory Bowel Disease Affect the Risk of COVID-19 Infection?

    Summary

    Some medications for IBD suppress the body's immune system and can therefore increase the chance of getting sick. The goal of this study was to learn whether taking IBD medication increased the chance of getting COVID-19 infection.
    The study included data from 3,953 adults with IBD, from IBD Partners and two other Crohn's & Colitis Foundation studies.
    The data showed that immunosuppressive medication did not increase the risk of developing COVID-19.
