A nomogram incorporating ileal and anastomotic lesions separately to predict the long-term outcome of Crohn's disease after ileocolonic resection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Rutgeerts score (RS) is widely used to predict postoperative recurrence after ileocolonic resection for Crohn's disease (CD) based on the severity of lesions at the neoterminal ileum and anastomosis (RS i0-i4). However, the value of anastomotic ulcers remains controversial.

Objectives

Our aim was to establish a nomogram model incorporating ileal and anastomotic lesions separately to predict the long-term outcomes of CD after ileal or ileocolonic resection.

Design

A total of 136 patients with CD were included in this retrospective cohort study.

Methods

Consecutive CD patients who underwent ileal or ileocolonic resections with postoperative ileocolonoscopy evaluation within 1 year after the surgery were included. The primary endpoint was postoperat
