Based on a retrospective database analysis, patients prescribed thiopurine or anti-TNF therapy when they have a complicated stage of CD are more likely to require surgery. Better patient outcomes are achieved by treating CD at early inflammation stages; delayed treatment increases rates of treatment failure.
