Abstract
- In order to identify the factors that could predict the efficacy of exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) in inducing remission of active CD. Baseline clinical and laboratory covariates were correlated with the outcome (clinical remission) of EEN in active CD (CDAI ≥150) by both univariable and multivariable analyses. A total of 67 from a consecutive of 136 active CD patients were enrolled. L4b (from treitz ligament to distal 1/3 ileum) involvement was negatively and high serum albumin (≥35 g/L) was positively associated with clinical remission (OR: 0.14, OR: 14.71). In conclusion, L4b sparing and high serum albumin might predict a favorable outcome of EEN in active CD (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT 02942511). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
