Trends in Surgical Recurrence Among Pediatric Crohn's Disease Patients Using Administrative Claims Data.
Article in Crohn's & colitis 360, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Despite the growing armamentarium of medical therapies for Crohn's disease (CD), well over half of patients with CD will require surgical intervention. We estimated the surgical recurrence risk and characterized postoperative treatment and colonoscopy use in pediatric CD patients using a large, geographically diverse administrative claims database. Methods: We analyzed postresection pediatric (≤18 years) CD patients identified in the 2007-2018 IQVIA Legacy PharMetrics administrative claims database using diagnosis and procedural codes. We estimated the surgical recurrence risk over time, characterized postoperative treatments, and reported the frequency of colonoscopy 6-15 months postoperatively. Results: Among 434 pediatric CD patients who underwent intestinal resection (median age 16 years, 46% female), risk of surgical recurrence was 3.5%, 4.6%, and 5.3% at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. Patients were most commonly prescribed an immune modulator (33%), anti-tumor necrosis factor agent (32%), or antibiotic (27%) postoperatively. Among 281 patients with ≥15 months of follow-up, 24% underwent colonoscopy 6-15 months postoperatively. Conclusions: Surgical recurrence risk increases over time and the low colonoscopy rates and treatment variation postoperatively represent an opportunity for practice improvement.
