Popis: Introduction: Small bowel (SB) capsule endoscopy (SBCE) is a sensitive modality for screening the entire SB of patients with Crohn’s diseases (CD); however, the prognostic impact of the results is unclear. We evaluated the ability of the SBCE score to predict therapeutic intervention for patients with CD and SB lesions without clinical symptoms as well as negative C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Methods: Fifty-six patients who underwent a patency evaluation and had a CD activity index (CDAI) score
