AGA’s recommendations include:
The guideline is accompanied by a technical review, Clinical Decision Support Tool, and patient companion, which provides key points and important information directly to patients about this approach, written at an appropriate reading level. Access the patient companion in the Patient Info Center, www.gastro.org/IBD.
