Abstract

Summary: Background: Clinical manifestations of Crohn's disease (CD) do not reliably correlate with endoscopic activity. While treating to achieve clinical remission (CR) has neither proven to improve CD outcomes nor alter the natural disease course, it is unclear whether targeting objective measures like mucosal healing (MH) is associated with improved long‐term outcomes. Aim: To perform a systematic review and meta‐analysis comparing long‐term outcomes in active CD patients who achieve MH compared to those who do not. Methods: We performed a systematic literature search to identify studies with prospective cohorts of active CD patients that included outcomes of patients who achieved MH at first endoscopic assessment (MH 1) compared to those who did not. The primary outcome was long‐term (≥50 weeks) CR. Secondary outcomes included CD‐related surgery‐free rate, hospitalisation‐free rate and long‐term MH rate. Pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Results: Twelve studies with 673 patients met inclusion criteria. Patients achieving MH 1 had a pooled OR of 2.80 (95%CI, 1.91–4.10) for achieving long‐term CR, 2.22 (95%CI, 0.86–5.69) for CD‐related surgery‐free rate, and 14.30 (95%CI, 5.57–36.74) for long‐term MH. Sensitivity analyses suggested no difference in outcomes if MH 1 was achieved on biologics vs. non‐biologics. No significant publication bias or heterogeneity was detected. Conclusions: Achieving MH 1 is associated with increased rates of long‐term clinical remission, and maintenance of mucosal healing in active Crohn's disease and may therefore be a reasonable therapeutic target.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
