Validation of intestinal ultrasound scores in assessing endoscopic activity of colonic and small intestinal Crohn's disease in a southwest Chinese cohort: a retrospective cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recently, intestinal ultrasound (IUS) scores such as International Bowel Ultrasound Segmental Activity Score (IBUS-SAS) and Simple Ultrasound Score for Crohn's Disease (SUS-CD) have been established to evaluate disease activity in Crohn's disease (CD), but these require further external validation. This study thus aimed to compare recent IUS scores in patients with colonic or small intestinal CD in order to objectively assess their value and appropriate application.

Methods

This retrospective study consecutively enrolled data of patients with CD from October 2020 to November 2022. The endoscopic and ultrasound images were collected, and the affected segments were rescored according to endoscopic scores [Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's Disease (SES-CD), Rutgeer
