Managing IBD during pregnancy can require complex therapeutic decision-making. However, it is not always clear how much patients know about treatment choices. 145 women with IBD were recruited to validate a new knowledge assessment tool (Crohn's and Colitis Pregnancy Knowledge Score—CCPKnow). This tool was found to be consistent and reliable. Nearly half of the women were found to have poor knowledge, emphasizing the need for improved education.
