Sažetak
Background: Data on the efficacy of the newly established dietetic treatment of Crohn's disease (CD), the CD exclusion diet (CDED), are scarce. The aim of this study was to provide real-world data on the efficacy of CDED in comparison with exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) for remission induction. Methods: A retrospective analysis of children diagnosed with CD who were treated with CDED + partial EN (PEN) or with EEN was performed. Eighty percent of the children assigned to CDED + PEN underwent 1-2 weeks of EEN prior to CDED + PEN. For all children, data from the medical charts were extracted before the introduction of diet therapy and at the end of EEN or CDED + PEN phase 1. Results: A total of 61 patients (49.2% females ; median age, 14.4 years [minimum: 6.7, maximum: 17.9]) were included in the study ; 42 children (68.9%) achieved remission, 27 of 41 (65.9%) received EEN and 15 of 20 (75.0%) received CDED + PEN. There was no significant difference in the failure of nutrition therapy between the two groups (P = .469). Patients receiving CDED + PEN had significantly higher weight gain (P = .002) and increases in body mass index z- score (P = .001) compared with patients who received EEN alone. Conclusion: Treatment with CDED + PEN (with prior 1-2 weeks of EEN) has comparable efficacy to EEN therapy alone in inducing remission in children with CD, and it leads to better weight gain. Further studies are needed to confirm these results.
