“…Whether patients are on preventive medical therapy or not, it is also often advised to perform early endoscopic monitoring to consider treatment escalation in case of early ER. Despite this approach, up to 50% of patients on thiopurines for post‐surgical recurrence prevention may show ER within the first year following surgery, and it has been shown that this percentage may increase over time . For this reason, therapeutic strategies in patients with subclinical ER despite prevention should be further investigated.…”

“…42 However, another study showed that, in patients treated with azathioprine versus azathioprine plus metronidazole, there was no difference in endoscopic recurrence (p = 0.15) at 1 year postoperatively. 43 Other antibiotic classes have been investigated with limited success. For example, ciprofloxacin does not appear to be effective in preventing POR.…”

“…Five RCTs investigated the effect of prolonged courses of antibiotics in prevention of post-operative recurrence of CD (106,(108)(109)(110)(111). Nitroimidazoles have been shown to be effective in reducing clinical (RR, 0.23; 95% CI: 0.09-0.57, NNT =4) and endoscopic (RR, 0.44; 95% CI: 0.26-0.74; NNT =4) recurrence (112).…”
