Comment on “Disease exacerbation is common in inflammatory bowel disease patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors for malignancy”

We recently read with interest the original research article entitled"Disease exacerbation is common in inflammatory bowel disease patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors for malignancy".The abovementioned article is an observational retrospective cohort study,which could be of particular value for clinicians to understand how immunotherapy affects pre-existing enteral disease in inflammatory bowel disease patients.Although we appreciate the endeavor of Samuel Rubin et al,based on our in-depth analysis,we detected a potential shortcoming in this article;thus,we present our comments in this letter.If the authors contemplate these comments on their relevant research,we believe that their contribution would be considerable for future studies.
