Decreased ER visits and Readmission After Implementation of a Standardized Perioperative Toolkit for Children with IBD

Implementation of a multidisciplinary IBD clinic with ERAS protocols significantly reduced 30-day ER visits (27% to 9.3%) and readmissions (24.3% to 2.3%) in 41 pediatric patients undergoing abdominal surgery. The clinic integrated wound/ostomy care, nutrition, and social work resources to optimize perioperative management.
