U.S., April 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07555808) titled 'MRI-Based Screening in a Retrospective Cohort Reveals Adverse Prognosis of Asymptomatic Perianal Fistulas in Crohn's Disease: A Long-term Follow-Up Study' on Feb. 24.

Brief Summary: The goal of this observational study is to learn about the necessity of imaging screening for perianal fistula in Crohn's disease (CD) patients without perianal symptoms by comparing the natural history and long-term outcomes between those with asymptomatic perianal fistula (APF) and those with symptomatic perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease (PFCD).

The main questions it aims to answer are:
