Disease Activity Patterns of Crohn's Disease in the FirstTen Years After Diagnosis in the Population-based IBD South Limburg Cohort

摘要

Background and Aims: Real-life data on long-term disease activity in Crohn's disease [CD] are scarce. Most studies describe disease course by using proxies, such as drug exposure, need for surgery or hospitalisations, and disease progression. We aimed to describe disease course by long-term disease activity and to identify distinctive disease activity patterns in the population-based IBD South Limburg cohort [IBDSL].
