Educational objectives:
Give an overview of recently published work on IBD / Crohn's disease / ulcerative colitis

Summary
Possible subjects will include:
1) Very early-onset IBD
2) Granulomatous gastritis
3) Appendiceal inflammation in Crohn's disease and in ulcerative colitis
4) An important differential diagnosis of Crohn's disease
5) Precursor lesions of IBD-associated neoplasia and features of Crohn's and colitis-associated bowel cancer
6) Something that may come as a surprise

1. To address the importance of developing high-quality guidelines
2. To address some of the issues behind guideline quality variability
3. To discuss the different domains that dictate standards of quality in guidelines

We will review the following items with respect to IBD:
1. History & epidemiology
2. pathogenesis 
3. genetics
4. environmental factors

1. To understand the epidemiology of IBD
2. To understand the impact of the disease on quality of life

Educational objectives: 

1. To emphasise the role of investigator-initiated studies compared to phase 3 randomized controlled trials in assessing the safety profile of IBD related treatments
2. To review the definition of real world data and the different types of real world data
3. To provide examples on investigator-initiated cohorts assessing the safety profile of IBD related treatments
4. To have an overview of the main administrative health databases used in the assessment of the safety profile of IBD related treatment

Aims of this talk are to:

     - Introduce the concepts of machine learning
     - Relay how machine learning is currently being applied in the filed of IBD
     - Present some applications using 'Omics data
     - Suggest how advancing applications might relate to treatment in IBD
