Abstract

BACKGROUND: Endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) is recognized as a minimally invasive and effective procedure for managing intestinal stenosis in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). It offers an alternative to surgery and has been shown to improve the quality of life for these patients by reducing the need for more aggressive interventions. This study aimed to evaluate factors associated with endoscopic restenosis after EBD and construct a prognostic model.
