|---|---|---|---|---|
| Remicade (infliximab) | Biological | Participants with confirmed diagnosis of severe active Crohn's disease (CD) and participants suffering from fistulae who do not respond sufficiently to a complete and adequate therapy with a conventional treatment received infliximab administration as intravenous (IV) infusion over a period of two hours. Dosage and infusion intervals were employed in accordance to the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC): 5 mg/kg body weight at week 0 of infliximab therapy with additional infusions of 5 mg/kg at week 2 and week 6 after the initial dose, followed by infusions every 8 weeks (maintenance) or if signs and symptoms of the disease recur (readministration). |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Participants Who Had the Mendel Mantoux Test as the First Screening Test for Active or Latent Tuberculosis (TB) Before Starting Treatment | In order to increase the attending physician's awareness of the required tuberculosis screening and to support the screening itself, tuberculosis screening was performed and documented before treatment administration (baseline). The number of participants who had the Mendel Mantoux test (tuberculin sensitivity skin test by intradermal injection) as the first screening test was presented in three categories:
| Baseline |
| Number of Participants Who Had the Tine Test as the First Screening Test for Active or Latent Tuberculosis Before Starting Treatment | In order to increase the attending physician's awareness of the required tuberculosis screening and to support the screening itself, tuberculosis screening was performed and documented before treatment administration (baseline). The number of participants who had the Tine test (multiple puncture tuberculin skin test) as the first screening test was presented in three categories:
| Baseline |
| Number of Participants Who Had the In-vitro TB Test as the First Screening Test for Active or Latent Tuberculosis Before Starting Treatment | In order to increase the attending physician's awareness of the required tuberculosis screening and to support the screening itself, tuberculosis screening was performed and documented before treatment administration (baseline). The number of participants who had the in-vitro TB test (cellular blood test, i.e. gamma interferon release assays) as the first screening test was presented in three categories:
| Baseline |
| Number of Participants Who Had a Chest X-ray as Part of TB Screening for Active or Latent Tuberculosis Before Starting Treatment |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment of Disease Activity by Means of the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) at the Time of Enrollment and at the First Infusion | The CDAI score is used to quantify the symptoms of participants with CD. The CDAI incorporates 8 items added together that are indicators of disease severity. Scores range from 0 to 600; higher scores indicate worse disease activity. Participants with scores below 150 have inactive disease whereas those with scores above 450 are considered critically ill. A decrease in CDAI over time indicates improvement in disease activity. CDAI was calculated at the time of enrollment (baseline) and at the time of first infusion. |

In order to increase the attending physician's awareness of the required tuberculosis screening and to support the screening itself, tuberculosis screening was performed and documented before treatment administration (baseline). If done according to guidelines, complete TB screening comprised a TB screeing test and a chest X-ray. The number of participants who had a frontal chest X-ray was presented in three categories:

| Secondary | Assessment of Disease Activity by Means of the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) at the Time of Enrollment and at the First Infusion | The CDAI score is used to quantify the symptoms of participants with CD. The CDAI incorporates 8 items added together that are indicators of disease severity. Scores range from 0 to 600; higher scores indicate worse disease activity. Participants with scores below 150 have inactive disease whereas those with scores above 450 are considered critically ill. A decrease in CDAI over time indicates improvement in disease activity. CDAI was calculated at the time of enrollment (baseline) and at the time of first infusion. | Data was analyzed for all CD participants whose data had been entered in the database and finalized by signature of the physician. 90 out of 148 participants available at enrollment completed the CDAI and 42 out of the 128 available participants at first infusion after screening (beginning of 2 year observation period) completed the CDAI. | Posted | Mean | Standard Deviation | Score on a scale | Baseline and time of first Infusion |
