Differences in outcomes over time with exclusive enteral nutrition compared to steroids in children with mild to moderate Crohn's Disease: results from the GROWTH CD study

Exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) and corticosteroids (CS) both induce similar rates of remission in mild to moderate pediatric Crohn's disease (CD), but differ with regard to mucosal healing. Our goal was to evaluate if EEN at diagnosis was superior to CS for improving long term outcomes

Complicated disease and response to initial therapy predicts early surgery in paediatric Crohn's disease: results from the Porto Group GROWTH study

The ability to predict risk for poor outcomes in Crohn's disease (CD) would enable early treatment intensification. We aimed to identify children with CD with complications at baseline and throughout the study period who are at risk for surgery two years from diagnosis
