Colonoscopy [CS] is the standard for assessing disease activity in ulcerative colitis [UC], although invasive and poorly tolerated. Bowel ultrasound [BUS] may be a valid alternative UC patients; however, comparative accuracy between BUS CS unknown.Consecutive patients with were prospectively assessed by BUS. Colonic wall thickening [CWT >3 mm], colonic flow at power Doppler [CWF], pattern [CWP], presence of lymph nodes evaluated compared CS. The endoscopic was according to Mayo sub-score...
The comparative accuracy of bowel ultrasound [US] versus magnetic resonance enterography [MRE] in combination with colonoscopy [CS] assessing Crohn's disease [CD] and influencing the decision-making process is unknown.Consecutive ileo-colonic CD patients seen a tertiary referral centre were prospectively assessed by MRE, CS, US, within 1 week. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value [PPV], negative [NPV] US localisation, enhancement [presence vascularisation at Power...
Summary Background The nocebo effect is a negative of pharmacological or nonpharmacological medical treatment that induced by patients' expectations, and unrelated to the physiological action treatment. can negatively affect outcomes. Aim To develop evidence‐based consensus recommendations for prevention management in biosimilar‐treated patients with IBD. Methods “NOCE‐BIO Consensus Group” was composed 19 members from five European countries, different fields expertise. A literature review...
Abstract Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition of the gastrointestinal tract characterised by recurring inflammation that usually requires life-long treatment. As therapeutic landscape rapidly expanding, there growing need to understand patient perceptions treatment-related attributes. This study explored preferences for treatment attributes in patients with Crohn’s (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) Brazil. Methods Adult from Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Saudi...
Abstract Background Intestinal ultrasound (IUS) is a non-invasive and effective tool for assessing intestinal inflammation in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients. Inter-observer agreement (IOA) IUS UC crucial accurate disease monitoring, particularly countries centers just implementing educating on IUS, such as Colombia. Therefore, we conducted study to assess the reliability of by comparing two Colombian gastroenterologists who performed prior at least 40 ultrasounds. Methods Thirty-seven...
Abstract Background Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are diagnosed during childhood and adolescence in up to 20% of patients. Invasive studies mandatory for diagnosis, but monitoring strategies should ideally be non-invasive reduce anxiety stress, especially children. Hence, intestinal ultrasound (IUS) is increasingly being used as a cheap, noninvasive tool disease activity children with IBD. However, scoring systems have mostly been developed validated adults. We aimed evaluate the...
Abstract Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) impairs patients’ quality of life, and hence, there is increased awareness patient-reported outcomes (PRO). Intestinal ultrasound (IUS) becoming increasingly important as a noninvasive patient monitoring strategy. However, no data exist on the concordance between PRO IUS findings. Therefore, we investigated association PRO, assessed by IBD Questionnaire-32 (IBDQ-32), parameters. Methods This prospective study recruited patients with who...
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD), are chronic inflammatory of the gastrointestinal tract. In last few years, development biological agents targeting cytokines receptors involved in IBD pathogenesis has led to better outcomes improved course disease. Despite their effectiveness, drugs such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors, anti-Interleukin-12/23 anti-integrins, do not induce a response about one-third patients, 40% patients...
