Key Words	Pseudopolyps; Inflammatory bowel diseases; Treatment escalation; Endoscopic scores
Core Tip	Interest in pseudopolyps and their relationship for monitoring inflammatory bowel disease activity has been refreshed by two recent studies that showed the presence of pseudopolyps to be linked with escalation of treatment, including the increased need for use of biological agents. The next logical step in their management is including their evaluation and possible integration, after proper validation, in inflammatory bowel disease scores, as separate markers for prediction of a more severe clinical course.
