摘要

BACKGROUND Postoperative relapse is a common feature of Crohn’s disease (CD) in Western countries but its frequency and risk factors have not been studied in the Middle East where there is a rapid upsurge in the incidence of CD. This study aims to research the frequency and risk factors of its recurrence after surgery among 566 Iranian patients with CD in Tehran, Iran.
