Abstract
Background: Lifetime risk of surgery in patients with Crohn's disease remains high. Aim: To assess population-level markers of Crohn's disease (CD) in the era of biological therapy. Methods: Population-based cohort study using administrative data from Ontario, Canada including 45 235 prevalent patients in the Ontario Crohn's and Colitis Cohort (OCCC) from 1 April 2003 to 31 March 2014.
