Unenhanced CT-based predictive model to identify small bowel necrosis in patients with mechanical small bowel obstruction.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To investigate the diagnostic value of unenhanced CT in mechanical small bowel obstruction (SBO) with small bowel necrosis, and to establish a predictive model.

Methods

From May 2017 to December 2021, the patients with mechanical SBO admitted to our hospital were retrospectively collected. Taking pathology-confirmed small bowel necrosis as the gold standard, the experimental group was composed of patients with small bowel necrosis confirmed by pathology, and the control group was composed of patients with no intestinal necrosis confirmed by surgery or successful conservative treatment with no recurrence of intestinal obstruction during 1-month followed-up.

Results

A total of 182 patients were enrolled in this study, 157 patients underwent surgery, of which
