Differential diagnosis of Crohn's disease and intestinal tuberculosis: development and assessment of a nomogram prediction model.

ABSTRACT:

Background

China is a region with a high incidence of tuberculosis, and the incidence of IBD has also been rising rapidly in recent years. Differentiating Crohn's disease(CD) from intestinal tuberculosis (ITB) has become a very challenging issue. We aimed to develop and assess a diagnostic nomogram to differentiate between CD and ITB to improve the accuracy and practicability of the model.

Methods

A total of 133 patients (CD 90 and ITB 43) were analyzed retrospectively. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was included to determine the independent predictive factors and establish the regression equation. On this basis, the nomogram prediction model was constructed. The discrimination, calibration and clinical efficiency of the nomogram were assessed using
