Key Characteristics:
- Data Structure: Sampling-based visits (not fixed timepoints)
- Participants: Adults only
- Recruitment Settings: Inpatient, outpatient, and endoscopy-based
- Focus Areas: Biomarker research, drug monitoring, disease activity assessment
Dataset Statistics:
- Columns: 227
- Study Centers: Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee
- Study Groups: CD, UC, IBDU, non-IBD, awaiting diagnosis, healthy controls
Study ID Prefix: MID-
MUSIC is a longitudinal adult IBD cohort study with fixed follow-up timepoints focusing on mucosal healing outcomes.
Key Characteristics:
- Data Structure: Fixed timepoints (timepoint_1 through timepoint_5)
- Participants: Adults only
- Longitudinal Follow-up: Scheduled visits at baseline and follow-up intervals
- Focus Areas: Mucosal healing
Dataset Statistics:
- Columns: 369
- Study Centers: Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee

Study ID Prefix: MINI-
Mini-MUSIC is a longitudinal pediatric IBD cohort study with fixed follow-up timepoints, using age-appropriate disease activity scores and classification systems designed for children/adolescents.
Key Characteristics:
- Data Structure: Fixed timepoints (timepoint_1 through timepoint_3)
- Participants: Pediatric only (typically <18 years)
- Age Groups: 6-10, 10-13, 14-18 years
