    Crohn's disease often leads to significant morbidity, including complications like bowel strictures and the need for surgery.

  • 2

    Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) is a key diagnostic tool that assesses bowel damage and inflammation in Crohn's disease.

  • 3

    The METRIC-EF trial aimed to evaluate whether MRE features at diagnosis can predict disabling Crohn's disease within five years.

  • 4

    The study included newly diagnosed patients with Crohn's disease and extended follow-up to a minimum of four years.

  • 5

    Accurate prognostication using MRE could enable targeted treatment for patients at risk of disabling disease while minimizing unnecessary interventions.
