| Summary statement | Average agreement score and rate of agreement |
| 1. At the time of diagnosis, extensive small-intestinal lesions (EL2) and significant upper gastrointestinal tract disease (EL3) are predictive factors for complicated disease behavior in CD. | 7.6 (85%) |
| 2. Young age at diagnosis, need for steroids at first flare, and perianal disease at diagnosis predict a disabling course of CD (EL3). | 8.0 (100%) |
| 3. Smoking can predict the need for therapy intensification in CD (EL3), development of complicated disease behavior (EL3), and the need for surgery (EL3). | 7.6 (95%) |
| 4. Endoscopic severity of CD predicts the formation of fistulae (EL4) and the need for surgery (EL3). | 8.3 (100%) |
