Comparing the Accuracy of Different Ultrasound-based Scores to Assess Disease Severity in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Sponsor: Assiut University

Summary

Infammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a lifelong chronic disease comprised of two main entities: Crohn's disease and Ulcerative Colitis. The former can involve any part of the gastrointestinal tract with marked mural infammatory change and frequent complications related to either a penetrating or fbrostenotic phenotype, while the latter is a superfcial inflammatory process involving only the colon. IBD can undergo spontaneous periods of remission and activity and has a full spectrum from mild inconsequential disease to incapacitating complications, which may alter both lifestyle and longevity The aim of research is to compare between different ultrasound based scores used to assess disease severity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease to determine the most accurate score to be validated to use in clinical practice
