Abstract
In an analysis of pediatric patients with CD, the 5-year cumulative risk of bowel surgery was lower than that reported in recent studies of adult and pediatric patients but similar to that of a recent retrospective pediatric study. Initiation of immunomodulator therapy at diagnosis did not alter the risk of surgery within 5 years of diagnosis.
