Key Words Crohn's disease; Ustekinumab; Postoperative recurrence; Rutgeerts score; Endoscopic improvement
Core Tip This multicenter study demonstrated that ustekinumab (UST) effectively addressed the management of postoperative recurrence in patients with Crohn's disease in China. Results showed high rates of endoscopic (81.7%) and clinical remission (91.5%) at 24 weeks. A multivariate analysis identified first-line UST use and shorter disease duration as independent predictors of superior outcomes. The favorable safety profile supports UST as a potent therapeutic option, particularly when initiated early as a first-line biologic strategy for postoperative management.
