Summary

This study reviewed medical records of 669 Crohn's disease patients to see if finding anal fistulas early—before symptoms appear—leads to better outcomes. Researchers compared patients whose fistulas were found by routine MRI (no symptoms) to those who already had symptoms. The goal was to understand if early detection helps prevent major complications like surgery or strictures.
