ECCO is updating the Guidelines on a regular basis, which goes hand in hand with continuous ambition to work according to the highest standards. In this context, with the Guidelines generation 2018-2023, ECCO has started to use GRADE Methodology for its major Guidelines on Therapeutics in CD and in UC.

Due to the elaborate process of the ECCO Guidelines development, it is not allowed to translate or commercially reprint these publications without the proper permission process: as ECCO Guidelines statements and recommendations need to be read in the context of the supporting text, partial translation or reproduction is not allowed.

For permissions and reprints, please contact Richard Young richard.young@oup.com.

ECCO e-Guide

An expanding collection of algorithms based on the ECCO Guidelines.

The work on guidelines resulted in a number of consensus conferences requiring more dedicated organisational work in that area and more planning for the future.
