- Abstract
Many Crohn's disease (CD) patients develop complications (fistulae and abscesses), and require surgery, often repeatedly and at variable instances. Identifying serological markers that determine their early or repeated manifestation can enable implementing more aggressive preventive strategies. Our objective was to study the ability of serological markers for predicting development of early (first) and recurrent complications or requirement for surgery.
