ABSTRACT=<p>Personalized care in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) hinges on parsing the heterogeneity of IBD patients through prognostication of their disease course and therapeutic response to allow for tailor-made treatment and monitoring strategies to optimize care. Herein we review the currently available predictors of outcomes in IBD and those on the both near and far horizons. We additionally discuss the importance of worldwide collaborative efforts and tools to support clinical use of these prognostication tools.</p>
