BACKGROUND: More than half of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) require at least one surgery for symptom management; however, approximately half of the patients may experience postoperative anastomotic recurrence (PAR).

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to develop and validate a preoperative computed tomography enterography (CTE)-based radiomics signature to predict early PAR in CD.

DESIGN: A total of 186 patients with CD (training cohort, n = 134; test cohort, n = 52) who underwent preoperative CTE and surgery between January 2014 and June 2020 were included in this retrospective multi-centre study.

METHODS: 106 radiomic features were initially extracted from intestinal lesions and peri-intestinal mesenteric fat, respectively; significant radiomic features were selected from them and then used to develop intestinal or mesenteric radiomics signatures, using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and a Cox regression model. A radiomics-based nomogram incorporating these signatures with clinical-radiological factors was created for comparison with a model based on clinical-radiological features alone.

RESULTS: 68 of 134 patients in training cohort and 16 of 52 patients in test cohort suffered from PAR. The intestinal radiomic signature (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.17; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.32-3.58; P = 0.002) and mesenteric radiomic signature (HR: 2.19; 95% CI: 1.14-4.19; P = 0.018) were independent risk factors for PAR in the training cohort as per a multivariate analysis. The radiomics-based nomogram (C-index: 0.710; 95% CI: 0.672-0.748) yielded superior predictive performance than the clinical-radiological model (C-index, 0.607; 95% CI: 0.582-0.632) in the test cohort. Decision curve analysis demonstrated that the radiomics-based nomogram outperformed the clinical-radiological model in terms of clinical usefulness.

CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative mesenteric and intestinal CTE radiomics signatures are potential non-invasive predictors of PAR in postoperative patients with CD.
