| Core Tip |
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is still evolving globally, and Brazil is currently one of the most affected countries. The Brazilian Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Study Group (Grupo de Estudos da Doença Inflamatória Intestinal do Brasil) developed a web-based survey of 3568 patients that was adapted from the guidelines of the British Society of Gastroenterology. This study indicates a distinct geographical distribution of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases at higher risk for COVID-19 complications in different states of the country, which may reflect contrasting socioeconomic, educational and health aspects. No association between high risk and COVID-related mortality rates has been identified. |
