Description
Shanshan Wu and co-authors pooled sixteen studies in 2026 on whether gut scans forecast the long road of Crohn's disease. The disease inflames the full bowel wall, and healing that wall through, not just its surface, has become the deeper goal. Magnetic resonance enterography pictures the wall well, so its findings might predict surgery, hospital stays, and treatment steps.
Eligible studies followed adults for at least a year, with scans before and after treatment and reported wall healing, over a mean follow-up beyond four years. Hazard ratios tied scan features at the start to later outcomes. Readers get a prognostic verdict from the pooled record: how much a scan at baseline tells a Crohn's patient about the years ahead.
