Abstract:
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic and progressive disease which can affect the whole digestive tract and associate with extraintestinal manifestations. The incidence and prevalence of CD increased rapidly in China in recent years. Understanding the natural history of CD is of great significance for disease risk stratification, treatment decision and prognosis judgement. This article reviewed the global evolution of epidemiology and natural history of CD, the predictive factors of natural history and the therapeutic interventions which may alter the natural history of CD.
