Proportion of patients with severe endoscopic postoperative recurrence of CD (Rutgeerts i2b, i3 or i4) after approximately 6 months (Week 26). |
Percentuale di pazienti che mostra recidiva endoscopica severa di CD (Rutgeerts i2b, i3 o i4) 6 mesi dopo la resezione ileocolica con anastomosi (pazienti stomizzati esclusi). Lo score endoscopico di Rutgeerts rappresenta un endpoint surrogato validato per valutare il decorso clinic successive della malattia (si veda l’appendice per il sistema di attribuzione del punteggio). Tutte le endoscopie saranno registrate per una successiva revisione e ri-lettura centralizzata.
