Background: Both vedolizumab and ustekinumab are approved for the management of Crohn's disease [CD]. Data on which one would be the most beneficial option when anti-tumour necrosis factor [anti-TNF] agents fail are limited.
Aims: To compare the durability, effectiveness, and safety of vedolizumab and ustekinumab after anti-TNF failure or intolerance in CD.
Background: The impact of biologics on the risk of postoperative complications (PC) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is still an ongoing debate. This lack of evidence is more relevant for ustekinumab and vedolizumab.
Aims: To evaluate the impact of biologics on the risk of PC.
Background: A significant percentage of patients treated with ustekinumab may lose response. Our aim was to evaluate the short-term efficacy and safety of intravenous re-induction with ustekinumab in patients with Crohn's disease who have lost the response to the treatment.
Methods: This is a retrospective, observational, multicenter study.
