Inclusion criteria

* Having at least one ICN visit with documented new use of ustekinumab * Participants with a documented Crohn's disease (CD) diagnosis at the time ustekinumab was initiated (that is, Baseline); If diagnosis at baseline is missing, then the diagnosis from previous visit within study window will be utilized * Having at least one ICN visit prior to the ICN visit when ustekinumab is first documented * Having received first dose of ustekinumab on or before June 22, 2019 * Having provided informed consent for use of ICN data for research purposes

Exclusion criteria

* Documented exposure to ustekinumab before enrollment in ICN (by chart review)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Cohort 1: Percentage of Pediatric Participants with Clinical Remission at Week 52Week 52Percentage of Pediatric participants with clinical remission at Week 52 will be reported. Clinical remission is defined by short pediatric Crohn's disease activity index (sPCDAI) less than or equal to (\<=) 10.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Cohorts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9: Percentage of Participants with Clinical Remission at Week 52Week 52Percentage of participants with clinical remission at Week 52 will be reported.
Cohorts 1 and 7: Percentage of Participants with Clinical Remission at Week 52 Evaluated by Ustekinumab Dose BandsWeek 52Percentage of participants with clinical remission at Week 52 evaluated by ustekinumab dose bands will be reported.
Cohorts 1 and 7: Percentage of Participants with Clinical Remission at Week 52 with No Corticosteroid UseWeek 52Percentage of participants with clinical remission at Week 52 with no corticosteroid use will be reported.
Cohorts 1 and 7: Percentage of Participants with Clinical Remission at Week 52 by PGA ScoreWeek 52Percentage of participants with clinical remission at Week 52 by Physician Global Assessment (PGA) score will be reported.
Cohorts 1 and 7: Change from Baseline in Height at Week 52Baseline and Week 52Change from baseline in height at Week 52 will be reported.
Cohorts 1 and 7: Change from Baseline in Weight at Week 52Baseline and Week 52Change from baseline in weight at Week 52 will be reported.
Cohort 7: Percentage of Young Adult Participants with Clinical Remission at Week 52Week 52Percentage of young adult participants with clinical remission at Week 52 will be reported.
Cohorts 1 and 7: Percentage of Participants Who Achieve Endoscopic Remission with SEMA-CD Score of 0 or 1 at Week 52Week 52Percentage of participants who achieve endoscopic remission with simplified endoscopic mucosal assessment for Crohn's disease (SEMA-CD) score of 0 or 1 at Week 52 will be reported. Endoscopic remission is defined as SEMA-CD score of 0 or 1. SEMA-CD mucosal disease activity score is defined as inactive = 0; minimal = 1; mild = 2-4; moderate = 5-9, or severe = greater than or equal to (\>=) 10.
