Extraintestinal manifestations (EIM) are common complications of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) associated with morbidity and reduced quality of life (QOL). The aim of this study was to identify and validate predictors for EIM in children with IBD. ⋯ Identification of risk factors at IBD diagnosis may help healthcare providers to predict EIM in children with IBD and to improve their management for lessening morbidity and enhancing QOL.
