About this trial
Growing evidence has shown that exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) plays an important role in the preoperative optimization for patients with Crohn's disease (CD). However, the efficacy and safety of different types of enteral feeds including semi-elemental and polymeric enteral nutrition on CD have not been investigated. The aim of this study was to compare the role of semi-elemental and polymeric enteral nutrition on CD.
