Rate and risk factors of postoperative endoscopic recurrence of moderate- to high-risk Crohn & #39;s disease patients - A real-world experience from a Middle Eastern cohort

Conclusions: The use of biological therapies post-surgery was not superior than AZA in reducing the endoscopic POR for mod- high risk CD patients. Only penetrating behavior of the CD was associated with significantly lower risk of endoscopic recurrence. This finding is worth further investigation in more robust study designs and among larger samples of patients.
