Résumé
Background and aims: Crohn's disease (CD) is rapidly emerging in Asia, yet endoscopic and histopathological characteristics at diagnosis remain poorly described in Southeast Asia. We aimed to describe baseline endoscopic and histologic features in Vietnamese adults with newly diagnosed CD.
Methods
We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study of consecutive adults newly diagnosed with CD from June 2019 to June 2024 at a tertiary inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) center in Vietnam. Ileocolonoscopy with segmental biopsies was performed in all patients. Endoscopic findings, histopathology, and Montreal classification were systematically recorded.
