Crohn’s Disease

Longer time to Crohn’s disease diagnosis occurs among patients who have a perianal fistula as a manifesting sign and is associated with poorer outcomes.

Modified Multiplier Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn’s Disease or Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn’s Disease thresholds identify risk for disease progression.

Obesity is increasingly prevalent among patients diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), raising concerns about its potential effects on the natural history of the condition.

While surgery types in Crohn’s disease are associated with mostly comparable outcomes, small bowel resection had greater odds of post-op wound complications.

The researchers of this study evaluated the efficacy of the Bowel Ultrasound Score (BUSS) in predicting long-term endoscopic remission in CD patients.

Multiple factors, including smoking and perianal disease, increase the likelihood of endoscopic postoperative recurrence in Crohn’s disease.

In inflammatory bowel disease, empiric or overall food avoidance increases the risk for food avoidance and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder.
