Brief summary of the doctoral thesis:
This thesis aimed to provide more insight into different disease optimization strategies in patients with CD at different stadia during the disease course. The findings of this thesis may aid in the guidance of current clinical decisions on optimization or de-escalation of biological strategies. In Part I of this thesis, optimization strategies were assessed in patients treated with ustekinumab. Part II described optimization strategies in patients who underwent an ileocolonic resection [ICR]. Part III of this thesis focused on de-escalation strategies in patients in stable remission during anti-TNF therapy.
