Risk Stratification for Surgery in Stricturing Ileal Crohn’s Disease: The BACARDI Risk Model

Transmural inflammation in Crohn’s disease [CD] leads to stricturing or penetrating complications. Factors impacting on the need and timing of surgery in ileal stricturing CD [IS-CD] are understudied. Our aim was to identify risk factors in IS-CD associated with the need for surgery over time. All cross-sectional imaging [XSI] performed for CD between 2006 and 2015 in a tertiary referral centre was analysed. The electronic charts of patients...
