Abstract
En 中文
<jats:p>The International Organization for the Study of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IOIBD) is an international scientific organization that has shaped the framework for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) research, clinical management strategy, therapeutic development, and clinical trial methodology for more than four decades. Formally constituted in April 1981 in Lyon, France, IOIBD was created to address fundamental barriers to scientific and clinical progress in IBD, including inconsistent definitions of disease activity and outcomes across studies and countries. Since the establishment of the IOIBD Foundation for Research and Education in 1997, IOIBD has combined a highly engaged global membership of experts with structured governance, continuously active thematic clusters, and an annual rotating international meeting to deliver consensus frameworks and collaborative initiatives that translate directly to clinical practice and regulatory and translational science. Key outputs include studies of global epidemiology of IBD, the Selecting Therapeutic Targets in IBD (Selecting Therapeutic Targets in Inflammatory Bowel Disease, STRIDE) treat-to-target programs; the SPIRIT consensus initiative addressing long-term disease impact and endpoints for disease-modification trials; validated approaches to capturing disability and patient-reported outcomes; consensus guidance on nutrition and diet as modifiable and potentially disease-modifying factors; recommendations to optimize IBD clinical trial design and endpoints; reclassification of IBD initiative; rapid international guidance during the COVID-19 pandemic; and educational initiatives including topic-focused satellite symposia, the Helmsley–IOIBD Clinical Experience Exchange Program, and the Empowering Women in IBD Leadership Program (EMPOWHER). This manuscript reviews IOIBD’s history, operational model, selected scientific contributions, educational mission, and evolving strategy as the field moves toward precision medicine, globalization of care, and data-intensive approaches, including artificial intelligence.</jats:p>
