Evaluations of CRP and CDAI before and after optimization in the two cohorts.
| Variables | Patients with q8w/q4w SC (n = 105) | Patients with IV reinduction (n = 23) | P value | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| median (IQR) | Time to assessment [weeks, median (range)] | median (IQR) | Time to assessment [weeks, median (range)] | ||
| CRP delta variation | 0.4 (−0.6, 7.2) | 8.0 (8.0, 16.0) | 3.2(−0.8, 8.4) | 8.0 (8.0, 8.0) | 0.225 |
| CDAI delta variation | 17.0 (−4.4, 65.9) | 8.0 (8.0, 16.0) | 69.0 (10.7, 151.0) | 8.0 (8.0, 16.0) | 0.013 |
IQR, interquartile range; q8/4w, every 8/4 weeks; SC, subcutaneous; IV, intravenous; CRP, C-reactive protein; CDAI, Crohn’s disease activity index; CRP delta variation: deviation of CRP between pre-and post-treatment; CDAI delta variation: deviation of CDAI between pre-and post-treatment.
