Hepatox vs IBD Classes

Hepatox®, a bibliographical database which reviews drug-induced liver injury, was created in 1980 by Michel BIOUR (MD, PhD), and has been monthly updated in accordance with other usual bibliographical databases to the analysis of the references cited in the articles. All the published cases for selection and classification were re-evaluated in accordance with criterions usually validated in hepatology. 1600 drugs are registered with 20,000 corresponding references. We provide the number of references for each type of liver disorder and one selected reference for each drug.

The PIBD classes app was developed to assist clinicians in the diagnosis of paediatric IBD most specifically in the cases of patients with IBD when trying to distinguish between ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease and IBDU. The user should then use this and other clinical information to complete as many of the 23 questions needed to then generate a suggested diagnosis. Once you reach a diagnosis, no further questions are offered eg if class 1 features are present leading to a diagnosis of Crohn’s disease the class 2 and 3 features will not appear.
