Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This multicenter, prospective, post marketing observational study (PMOS) was designed to demonstrate long-term effects of anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor therapies on Work Productivity and Impairment scales in participants with moderate to severe Crohn's Disease (CD) under routine conditions. Secondary objectives of this study were long-term improvement of Quality of Life (QoL), evaluation of improvement of extraintestinal symptoms and comorbidities, and evaluation of safety.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Male or female participants between 18 - 65 years of age with moderate to severe CD for whom the treating physician had recently initiated an anti-TNF treatment were included in this study. Anti-TNF treatments were administered according to the treating physician's decision and applicable product label in Turkey. No interventions were made to the treatment and the participant discontinuance or to the follow-up decisions of the treating physician. Enrolled participants were observed for one year.
