Edward L.

\u201cWhen I started doing IBD research, it was the best thing that happened in my career,\u201d Barnes explained in a Sherman Prize interview<\/a>\u00a0that describes him with an unquenchable thirst for answers, one that took him from a small town in South Carolina, where he once thought he would be a town doctor, to the forefront of IBD research.<\/p>\n

Barnes has been awarded the $25,000 Sherman Emerging Leader Prize for applying his expertise in epidemiology and the study of \u201cbig data\u201d to tackle one of the most difficult complications for people with ulcerative colitis \u2013 the development of pouchitis after J-pouch surgery. This painful inflammation of the pouch lining impacts up to 80% of patients after surgery and, until now, the epidemiology and disease course for these patients has not been well characterized.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an IBD fellow I saw that treating pouchitis usually involved a \u2018try it and see\u2019 approach because we didn\u2019t have much real-world data,\u201d said Barnes, who is also associate program director for the GI fellowship program.<\/p>\n

To better understand the condition, Barnes created the first validated algorithm to define pouchitis in large databases, making it possible to describe pouch outcomes on a larger scale. Today, Barnes leads the pioneering PROP-RD study (A Prospective Registry for the Study of Outcomes and Predictors in Pouchitis and Pouch-Related Disorders) to investigate real-world outcomes after pouch surgery. Through this research, Barnes hopes to be able to predict which patients are at greatest risk for pouchitis and identify interventions to prevent them from developing the condition. This epidemiological study, and a similar one he\u2019s conducting in Denmark, are giving the IBD field insights into the prevalence and treatment of pouchitis on a larger scale \u2013 opening avenues for the development of novel therapies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough this research, I hope to be able to develop criteria to predict which patients are at greatest risk for pouchitis and identify earlier interventions to improve their quality of life after surgery,\u201d said Barnes.<\/p>\n

The 2021 Sherman Prize recipients are innovators and challengers of the status quo, representing diverse IBD sub-specialties and applying their unique talents to help patients coping with some of the most intractable challenges of these diseases. The 2021 Sherman Prize winners will be honored at the Advances in IBD conference in Orlando, Florida, on Dec. 9, 2021.<\/p>\n
