To Treat or Not to Treat – Prospection and Prognosis in IBD

Gomollón, Fernando (Universidad de Zaragoza)

Resumen: Daniel Gilbert starts his amazing book “Stumbling in happiness” with a key sentence: “The human being is the only animal who thinks about the future,”1 a specific property called “prospection.” Later on, he states: “We want to know what is likely to happen so that we can do something.” This sentence symbolizes our key thoughts in our encounters with patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), especially early on. Let us further analyze our reasoning in the typical clinical situation.
