Patients had more than one reason for a repeat endoscopy. Reason was determined by chart review and therefore is >100%.
Seven patients were asymptomatic and repeat endoscopy was performed to confirm CD resolution, four patients had seronegative CD at diagnosis and repeat endoscopy was performed to confirm CD resolution.
Repeat serology was only included if it was measured within 4 months of the date of repeat endoscopy (N=71).
