Abstract: In Crohn’s Disease it is extremely important to detect the presence of symptomless mucosal inflammation in such a way as to prevent the evolution of the disease. The aim of this study is to identify predictor variables for estimating the risk of the presence of mucosal inflammation. The results show that the estimated model provides a clear picture of the relationship among the selected predictors and the outcome of interest and has a very appreciable ability for identifying patients at high risk of symptomless but persistent inflammation.
