Disease Severity
Generally, the management of Crohn's Disease (CD) is based on the location and severity of the disease and its complications.1 There is no established checklist for determining the severity of CD, but classifications of disease severity as determined by the American College of Gastroenterology may help guide physicians in choosing various medical treatments.1
