Efficacy of different dietary therapy strategies in active pediatric Crohn's disease: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dietary therapy strategies play an important role in the treatment of pediatric patients with Crohn's disease (CD), but the relative efficacy of different dietary therapy strategies for Crohn's remission is unknown. This study aims to compare the effectiveness and tolerance of these dietary therapy strategies for active pediatric CD.

Methods

The primary outcomes were clinical remission rate and tolerance, secondary outcomes included differences between pre- and post-treatment levels of albumin, C-reactive protein (CRP), and fecal calprotectin levels. A network meta-analysis (NMA) was performed by using the frequen
