Factors associated with surgical resection in patients with Crohn's disease: long-term evaluation

CONCLUSIONS: Patients with CD still frequently need surgical treatment. Smoking (current or past), longer disease time, stenosing and fistulizing behavior, and ileo-colonic localization in CD patients were associated with a higher risk of surgery. Awareness about factors associated with unfavorable outcome allows such patients to be treated more appropriately.PMID:38629651 | PMC:PMC11020661 | DOI:10.1590/acb391924
