Task: Question Generation
Input (English): NOD2/CARD15 gene variants have not been universally associated with stricturing behaviour in Crohn's disease. Other behaviour modifying genes could explain these results.", "To study the combined influence of NOD2/CARD15 variants and 4G/4G genotype of type-1 plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) gene on Crohn's disease behaviour.", "One hundred and seventy Crohn's disease patients were studied prospectively, with a mean follow-up of 7+/- 6 years. Disease behaviour was registered by using two criteria: the Vienna classification and a non-hierarchical classification based on the behavioural Vienna categories.", 'In the multivariate analysis for stricturing behaviour according to the Vienna categories, only absence of colonic disease (OR, 4.0; 95% CI: 1.49-11.1; P = 0.006) was an independent predictive factor. However, in the multivariate analysis for stricturing disease applying a non-hierarchical criteria, ileal disease (OR, 4.19; 95% CI: 1.30-13.5; P = 0.01), and carrying both NOD2/CARD15 variants and the 4G/4G PAI-1 genotype (OR, 5.02; 95% CI: 1.44-17.48; P = 0.01) were independent predictive factors. In the multivariate analysis for penetrating behaviour, the 4G/4G PAI-1 (OR, 3.10; 95% CI: 1.54-6.23; P = 0.001) and male sex (OR, 2.44; 95% CI: 1.30-4.60; P = 0.005) were independent predictive factors irrespective of criteria applied.
Output (English): Does combined type-1 plasminogen activator inhibitor and NOD2/CARD15 genotyping predict complicated Crohn 's disease behaviour?
