ABSTRACT: Objective: To explore the disease management methods and effects for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in the special period of pandemic. Methods: Medical staffs carried out the management of patients with IBD on the inflammatory disease service platform of this center from February to May of 2020 in addition to routine clinical works. Results: None of the nearly 3000 IBD patients who are being followed up at our center were infected with COVID-19. During this period, no patients experienced drug-related serious side effects or disease recurrence that could not be treated in time due to failure to reach the medical staffs. Conclusion: The disease management methods based on IBD platform allow the patients to be properly managed during this special period.
