Effect of Biologic Therapy on Surgical Outcomes for Perforated Crohn's Patients

Early Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Crohn Disease
• Interventions: Biological: early biologic therapy; Biological: late biologic therapy

• Registration Number: NCT06511921
• Lead Sponsor: Zagazig University

Brief Summary

crohn's disease patients who present by intestinal perforation as the first presentation are hard to deal with. Surgical techniques as anastmosis or diversion stoma and active course of the disease may greatly affect the quality of life. In post-operative period, is the priority to avoid the post operative complications and to improve surgical outcomes or to stop active course of the disease and to induce remission?. So, those patients were classified into two groups. one group received biological therapy early post operative and the other group received it 2 or 3 months later after surgery and the investigators will compare results between the two groups.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
fecal fistula	from the first post-operative day to 2 months postoperatively	if found, its amount will be calculated per day using calibrated colostomy bag
size of intra-abdominal fluids or collection	from the first post-operative day to 2 months postoperatively	size of peritoneal fluids will be measured by surface area in centimeter square ( weight x height) using ultrasound
bowel function	from the first post-operative day to 2 months postoperatively	bowel function will be assessed by hearing intestinal sound using Stethoscope
sex	2 hours before surgery	sex of patients (male or female) will be recorded
skin maceration	from the first post-operative day to 2 months postoperatively	skin maceration surface area will be calculated by (weight x height) in centimeter square using a ruler
body weight	from the first post-operative day to 2 months postoperatively	weight gain or weight loss will be measured in kg
