Prediction of clinical outcomes in Crohn’s disease by using confocal laser endomicroscopy: results from a prospective multicenter study.

Assessment of prognostic factors in Crohn's disease (CD) patients is of pivotal importance for early intervention and "treat-to-target" strategies. Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (CLE) enables on demand in vivo characterization of mucosal inflammatory and architectural changes during endoscopy. We prospectively assessed the value of CLE for prediction of clinical outcome parameters in CD.
