Postoperative Use of Biologics was Less Common among Patients with Crohn's Disease With Emergent/Urgent Versus Elective Intestinal Resection.

ABSTRACT:

Background & aims

Given the risk of intestinal resection for Crohn's disease, postoperative treatment may be informed by several risk factors, including resection type. We compared postoperative treatment strategies for Crohn's disease between emergent/urgent versus elective resection.

Methods

We identified patients with intestinal resection for Crohn's disease between 2002-2018 using the MarketScan databases. We classified emergent/urgent resections as those occurring after emergency department admission or after the second day of admission. We estimated adjusted risk differences for the association between resection type (emergent/urgent versus elective) and 6-month postoperative medication strategy (biologic monotherapy, biologic combination therapy with an immunomodulato
