Elemental Diet Therapy Plays a Significant Role in Preventing Surgical Recurrence of Crohn's Disease in the Era of Biologics
Abstract
Shinozaki, M., Yokoyama, T., Saigusa, N., Sato, H., Yazawa, K., Tsurita, G., Kurokawa, T., Hata, K., & Yokoyama, Y. (2021). Elemental diet therapy plays a significant role in preventing surgical recurrence of Crohn’s disease in the era of biologics. Surgery Today, 51(2), 250–257. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00595-020-02112-5
Although univariate analyses revealed that all three treatment strategies had significant effects on surgical recurrence in patients with CD, multivariate analysis revealed that only ED therapy was significantly associated with surgical recurrence rates. Thus, ED therapy plays an important role in the management of CD, even in the era of biological therapies.
