Write a short summary of the research’s main findings and how this work has moved the field forward.

Major issues

• Including healthy controls and stratifying Crohn’s disease patients by ASCA status would enhance the analytical depth by enabling both disease-level comparisons and immunological subgroup characterization

• The cross-sectional design limits causal inference; a longitudinal cohort design would be required to establish temporal relationships and identify true causal risk factors for fatigue.

• The study is subject to several potential biases, including selection bias due to its single tertiary-center setting, recall and response bias from self-reported telephone interviews, and residual confounding from unmeasured variables such as psychological and sleep-related factors

Minor issues

• Timing of laboratory measurements: Greater detail on the temporal proximity between laboratory values and fatigue assessment would improve interpretability.

• Consistency in reporting: Minor inconsistencies in reporting sample sizes across tables and analyses should be standardized for clarity.
