ustekinumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody against IL-12/23, approved for induction and maintenance treatment of Crohn's disease (CD). Real-life data shows its true effectiveness in terms of clinical and endoscopic response. However, there is little information regarding health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in CD patients receiving ustekinumab. The main aim of this study was to define long-term clinical remission and HRQoL normalization. The clinical predictive factors of clinical remission were investigated as a secondary aim.
