Core Tip	Comparing two cohorts separated by a decade of Crohn’s disease patients who required surgical resections, this study showed significant changes in patient phenotypes and medication usage. Those that required surgery shifted from more inflammatory to stricturing and penetrating phenotypes, and had more immunomodulators but less 5-aminosalysilic acid exposures. Patients treated with biologics had significantly longer time from Crohn’s disease diagnosis to surgery. However, they were at increased risk for surgery, suggesting that biologics were often used too late in the patients’ treatment courses.
