Exclusive enteral nutrition and the risk of nonsurgical readmission in patients with Crohn's disease‐related intra‐abdominal abscess: A retrospective cohort study

Key Points

• The aim is to assess the impact of exclusive enteral nutrition on readmission rates and surgical burden in Crohn's disease patients with intra-abdominal abscess.
• Retrospective cohort design
• Analysis of medical records of patients with Crohn's disease
• Comparison of readmission rates between patients on exclusive enteral nutrition and those not on it
• Exclusive enteral nutrition is linked to lower nonsurgical readmission rates
• Patients receiving exclusive enteral nutrition show reduced surgical burden
• Abscess recurrence rates remain unchanged regardless of nutrition type
