Multicenter Study Comparative StudyCourse and treatment of perianal disease in children newly diagnosed with Crohn's disease.
We sought to characterize perianal disease and its treatment in pediatric patients newly diagnosed with Crohn's disease. ⋯ Approximately 10% of newly diagnosed pediatric patients with Crohn's disease will have perianal fistulas and/or abscesses at the time of diagnosis. Most of these will resolve within a year with medical therapy alone.
