*

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).
