S97 Xpert MTB/RIF Test in Differential Diagnosis of Intestinal Tuberculosis and Crohn’s Disease

Abstract

Background: Pouchitis is the most common complication in patients undergoing Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA), which can develop in its acute form in up to 66% of patients. Patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) are at an increased risk for developing pouchitis, which occurs in 60%-90% of non-transplanted patients with PSC/IBD. There is limited data on the e ff ect of orthoptic liver transplantation (OLT) on the risk of developing pouchitis. We aimed to objectively assess whether OLT signi fi cantly modi fi es the risk of developing pouchitis in patients with PSC/IBD. Methods: PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane
