The association of medicinal cure effect and genotype in CD patients. 5-ASA: 5-Aminosalicylic acid; GS: glucocorticoids; Anti-TNF; Infliximab, IFX; ISD: immunosuppressant, Azathioprine; NR: nonremission. In the early stage of CD treatment, the least toxic drugs are preferred. If they are ineffective or have adverse reactions, it will switch to other treatment options. The usual treatment starts with 5-Aminosalicylic acid and gradually advances to the immunosuppressant via glucocorticoids and biological agents in the end. Clinical response or remission was used to assess the efficiency of the drugs. We classify CD patients by genotype. Adjusted for gender and age.
