Multivariate logistic regression analysis for evaluation of risk factors for relapse after discontinuation of biologics in pediatric patients with Crohn’s disease. Multivariate analysis was performed by selecting a variable with P < 0.1 in univariable analysis.

The simple endoscopic score for Crohn’s disease (SES-CD) assesses the size of mucosal ulcers, the ulcerated surface, the endoscopic extension, and the presence of stenosis.
Pediatric Crohn’s disease activity index (PCDAI) score can range from 0 to 100, with higher scores signifying more active disease. A score of <10 indicates consistent with inactive disease, 11–30 indicates mild disease, and >30 indicates moderate-to-severe disease.
Bold values mean statistically significant values with p-value <0.05.
