In a collaborative effort, researchers from University of Alberta, University of British Columbia, University of Toronto, and University of New South Wales developed a novel Pregnancy IBD Decision Aid (PIDA), and assessed the impact of PIDA on quality of reproductive decision-making and pregnancy-related knowledge among preconception (PC) and pregnant patients with IBD.
Patients using PIDA developed an improved quality of reproductive decision-making and IBD-in-pregnancy knowledge.
PIDA is an accessible tool that can empower women with IBD to make values-congruent, evidence-based decisions regarding pregnancy and may reduce voluntary childlessness.
