Study characteristics
Methods Prospective, multicenter (9 institutions) cohort. Study period: 2010 to 2014
Participants Country: France. CD patients who underwent ileocecal resection. Pregnant patients and those who had surgery for dysplasia were excluded
Interventions 1. Preoperative steroids (n= 45)
2. Preoperative anti‐TNF therapy (n= 93) within 4 weeks of surgery
3. No preoperative steroid (n= 164)
4. No preoperative anti‐TNF therapy (n= 165)
Outcomes Abdominal infections and extaabdominal infections within 30 days of surgery
Notes NOS very high risk of bias overall
Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Representativeness of the exposed cohort Low risk All adult CD patients who underwent ileocecal resection from 2010 to 2014
Selection of the non exposed cohort Low risk Both groups obtained from the same hospitals and time period
Ascertainment of exposure Low risk Data collected prospectively in a standardized format by gastroenterologist
Demonstration that outcome of interest was not present at start of study High risk 42% surgeries performed due to fistula/abscess
Comparability of cohorts (Controlled for critical factor/other medications) High risk Did not control for other medications
Comparability of cohorts (Controlled for additional factor) High risk Did not control of other factors
Assessment of outcome Low risk Data collected prospectively in a standardized format and reviewed in detail
Was follow‐up long enough for outcomes to occur Low risk 30 days
Adequacy of follow up of cohorts Unclear risk No information provided
