About

IBD consists of either ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease.

The main aim of this study is to describe real-world treatment patterns in adults with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease when treated with vedolizumab. This will include how vedolizumab is given, which can either be an infusion through a vein (intravenous or IV), or an injection just under the skin (subcutaneous injection, or SC).
