This second section of the European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation (ECCO) Consensus on the management of Crohn’s disease concerns treatment of active disease, maintenance of medically induced remission, and surgery. The first section on definitions and diagnosis includes the aims and methods of the consensus, as well as sections on diagnosis, pathology, and classification of Crohn’s disease. The third section on special situations in Crohn’s disease includes postoperative recurrence…

The multidisciplinary health care team in the management of stenosis in Crohn’s disease

Patients with stricturing CD require complex clinical management, which benefits from a multidisciplinary approach: gastroenterologists, pediatricians, radiologists, surgeons, specialist nurses, and dieticians are among the health care providers involved in supporting these patients throughout diagnosis, prevention of complications, and treatment.

An overview of Crohn's disease and the current strategies used in its pharmacological management is provided, placing specific focus on the role of budesonide in the treatment pathway.

Second Korean guidelines for the management of Crohn's disease

These guidelines were developed by using mainly adaptation methods, and encompass induction and maintenance treatment of CD, treatment based on disease location, treatment ofCD complications, including stricture and fistula, surgical treatment, and prevention of postoperative recurrence.

Epidemiological description and treatment of Crohn’s disease patients

Corticosteroids for maintenance of remission in Crohn's disease.

The use of conventional systemic corticosteroids in patients with clinically quiescent Crohn's disease does not appear to reduce the risk of relapse over a 24 month period of follow-up.

At 1 year, 32% of patients with Crohn's disease and 48% with ulcerative colitis are corticosteroid free without operation.

Mesalazine as a maintenance treatment in Crohn’s disease

As is too often the case in such reviews, the authors have failed to identify all of the relevant literature pertinent to the topic: the maintenance of remission or prevention of recurrence of Crohn’s disease.

The addition of low-dose cyclosporine to conventional treatment for Crohn's disease did not improve symptoms or reduce requirements for other forms of therapy, and analyses of the meanCrohn's Disease Activity Index and quality-of-life scores and of the use of prednisone and 5-aminosalicylates also failed to demonstrate benefit.

Predictors of severe Crohn's disease

Clinical, demographic and biological factors associated with the development of disabling disease within 5 years after the diagnosis of CD and with the time to development of severe disease were successively studied by univariate and multivariate analyses.

A population‐based study of the frequency of corticosteroid resistance and dependence in pediatric patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis

Most pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease initially responded to corticosteroids, but after 1 year, 58% of pediatric Patients with Crohn's disease and 43% of Pediatrics with ulcerative colitis either were steroid dependent or required surgery.

Traditional corticosteroids for induction of remission in Crohn's disease.

Although corticosteroids cause more adverse events than either placebo or low-dose 5-ASA, these adverse events did not lead to increased study withdrawal in the included studies, and Corticosteroid are effective for induction of remission in patients with CD, particularly when used for more than 15 weeks.
