We read with interest the systematic review published by Fiorino et al., which identified several important structural components in facilitating quality of care in inflammatory bowel disease [IBD].¹ They highlighted the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the management of IBD, including improved access to care using dedicated IBD helplines.¹ When telephone helplines are available to patients managed by the IBD unit, they have been found to be cost effective and useful, and help to promote self-management and awareness which enable earlier access to care and avoidance of unnecessary hospital admission.²

炎症性肠病求助热线降低了随后的住院率

我们感兴趣地阅读了Fiorino等人发表的系统评价，该综述确定了促进炎症性肠病[IBD]护理质量的几个重要结构成分。¹他们强调了在IBD的管理中采用多学科方法的重要性，包括使用专门的IBD热线提供更好的医疗服务。¹当由IBD部门管理的患者可以使用电话求助热线时，发现它们具有成本效益和实用性，有助于促进自我管理和意识，从而使人们能够及早获得护理并避免不必要的住院治疗。²
