Long-term outcome of inflammatory bowel disease in immigrants to Denmark

Based on a great collaboration with KU Leuven, we are pleased to present our data comparing the risk of adverse IBD outcomes in first- and second-generation immigrants to Denmark compared with native Danes. The study has just been published in the Inflammatory Bowel Diseases journal.
