Risk Stratification of Patients with Crohn's Disease: A Retrospective Analysis of Clinical Decision Making and Its Impact on Long-Term Outcome.

Background And Aims: Complications such as need for bowel resections and hospitalization due to Crohn's disease (CD) occur when disease activity persists due to ineffective therapy. Certain "high-risk" features require an early introduction of anti-tumor necrosis factor-α therapy to prevent such complications. We aim to evaluate the prevalence of "high-risk" features among a cohort of patients with CD and examine the association between discordance of early therapy with baseline risk stratification and disease outcome.
