Summary

This study looked at how well a special diet (called CDED plus NEP) works for children aged 8 to 18 with active Crohn's disease. The diet aims to reduce inflammation and help the gut heal without needing steroids or other strong drugs. Researchers tracked 58 kids in real-world clinics to see if the diet could bring remission and improve quality of life.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with Crohn's disease (diagnosis based on clinical, laboratory, endoscopic, radiological, and histological criteria, according to the revised Porto criteria of the ESPGHAN for the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease in children and adolescents); * Aged between 8 and 18 years; * Who are about to start treatment with NEP + CDED, i.e. CDED-naive patients who may have previously received treatment with NEE; * With active Crohn's disease defined by the Weighted Paediatric Crohn's Disease Activity Index (wPCDAI) ≥ 12.5; * With data collection available for the following 6 months; * Able to follow the study protocol or whose parent/caregiver is able to adhere to the study protocol, according to the investigator's perspective. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with ulcerative colitis and/or unclassified inflammatory bowel disease. * Patients with more than 36 months of disease progression. * Penetrating (B3) and/or non-inflammatory stenosing (B2) pattern. * Active perianal disease. * Presence of extraintestinal manifestations. * Patients who, in the investigator's opinion, will require surgical treatment or initiation of steroids or biological drugs (anti-TNF, vedolizumab or ustekinumab) within the next 3 months and for whom nutritional support is indicated exclusively as a bridge. Patients who are undergoing biological treatment but discontinue treatment due to non-response and initiate CDED+NEP are not excluded.
