The operative risk and natural history after the diagnosis of ileal penetrating Crohn's disease

TL;DR: The presence of an abscess showed a significant association with the need for surgery and an acceptable postoperative complication rate, and the long-term outcome after surgery was favourable.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammatory bowel disease biomarkers

TL;DR: This review focuses on novel biomarkers that have emerged in recent years that could potentially be used for disease management in IBD, thereby decreasing patient discomfort and morbidity.

Organ space infection following ileocolectomy for Crohn's disease: a National Surgical Quality Improvement Project study

TL;DR: Weight loss is a preoperative, potentially modifiable variable associated with OSI in Crohn's patients undergoing ileocolectomy and OSI-associated operative factors which may be noted to identify high-risk patients include extended operating time and open procedures.

Molecular-phylogenetic characterization of microbial community imbalances in human inflammatory bowel diseases

TL;DR: Patient stratification by GI microbiota provides further evidence that CD represents a spectrum of disease states and suggests that treatment of some forms of IBD may be facilitated by redress of the detected microbiological imbalances.
