Abstract
The following are guidelines for evaluation and consideration for treatment of patients with inflammatory bone disease (IBD) after bone mineral density (BMD) measurements. The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) has indicated that its recommendations are intended to serve as reference points for clinical decision-making, not as rigid standards, limits, or rules. They should not be interpreted as quality standards.
