Background & Aims: Long-term safety data for infliximab and other therapies in Crohn's disease (C D) are needed. Methods: We prospectively evaluated patients for prespecified safety-related outcomes. Results: As of August 2004, 6290 patients were enrolled; 3179 received infliximab (5519 patient-years), 87% of whom received at least 2 infusions, and 3111 received other therapies (6123 patient-years). The mean length of follow-up evaluation was 1.9 years. More infliximab-treated patients had moderate-to-severe (30.8% vs 10.3%) or severe-fulminant (2.5% vs.6%) CD, and had surgical (17.5% vs 13.8%) or medical (14.4% vs 9.1%) hospitalizations in the previous year. More patients were taking prednisone (27.4% vs 16.1%), immunomodulators (49.4% vs 32.2%), or narcotic analgesics (9.8% vs 5.4%) when compared with those receiving other therapies (P
