The role of new inflammatory indices in the prediction of endoscopic and histological activity in inflammatory bowel disease patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aim

Inflammatory indices are promising indicators that can be used to evaluate inflammation in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). The present study aimed to investigate the test accuracy of several inflammatory indices to identify endoscopic, and histological activity in a cohort of IBD patients.

Study

All IBD patients who underwent colonoscopy and blood examination (within 4 weeks and without therapeutic change) were included. For these patients, 10 different inflammatory biomarkers were collected. Our primary outcome was the assessment of accuracy [evaluated with a receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis] of each inflammatory biomarker and indices. Furthermore, we tried to establish the optimal cutoff to identify patients with endoscopic and histo
