Core Tip Defining and predicting deep remission is important to guide the management of patients with perianal fistulizing Crohn’s disease (CD). Deep remission, defined as complete fistula healing based on objective endoscopic and radiologic findings, should be the goal of care in the treatment of patients with perianal CD. Currently, anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) are the standard of care for perianal CD, but long-term outcomes are disappointing. Data suggests that higher infliximab concentrations are associated with better clinical outcomes in patients with perianal fistulising CD and thus therapeutic drug monitoring may be a valid therapeutic strategy for optimizing anti-TNF therapy towards improved objective outcomes and deep remission.
