Core Tip	This paper proposes that the varying length of remission and disease activity of patients enrolled in studies for medically induced remission is different to surgical induced remission and may explain differences in findings. This guides future research proposals. Future primary research is needed in the medical induced remission setting which considers the length of remission on enrolment and endoscopic or histological disease scores. Additionally, secondary research to rank the various treatment options in the post-surgical setting could be achieved through the use of network meta-analysis.
