Safety and Efficacy of Inpatient Infliximab Rescue Therapy for Acute Crohn's Disease Flares

CONCLUSION: Inpatient rescue infliximab is safe for treating acute Crohn's disease flare in addition to standard steroid therapy. The majority of patients hospitalized with Crohn's flare requiring rescue infliximab avoided surgery with low postoperative and medication-related complications. More research is needed to clarify the optimal rescue infliximab therapy dosage.PMID:38597300 | DOI:10.1177/00031348241246160
