Query Topic: Formulating hypotheses
Literature shows that patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease are at higher risk for cancers of the colon. It is unclear why. I would like
to use the SHRINE system to try to identify characteristics of IBD patients who have a co-morbid diagnosis of colon cancer:
-
Quantify the number of patients in the Boston area with a diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Colon Cancer
-
Identify how many patient were treated at each participating institution
-
Obtain breakdown of patients (by gender) who are treated with 5-ASA’s, steroids and/or biologics
-
Obtain breakdown of patients who are considered active or in remission for their IBD
