Key Words	Crohn’s disease; Infliximab; Dose escalation
Core Tip	Crohn’s disease patients who required infliximab therapy earlier (< 2 years) probably have a higher inflammatory burden of disease than those who require infliximab therapy later. Our results show that those who receive infliximab within 2 years of diagnosis require more intense immunosuppressant therapy to avoid dose escalation. This finding supports the importance of concurrent immunosuppressant therapy while on infliximab, as previously described by the SONIC trial.
