Abstract
This study examined the utility of the combined use of transabdominal ultrasonography (TUS) and fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) to detect mucosal inflammation, vis-a-vis the Mayo endoscopic subscore (MES), in ulcerative colitis (UC). Sixty-three UC patients who underwent TUS and FIT were retrospectively enrolled. For TUS, the colon was divided into five segments, and the bowel wall thickness was measured and evaluated. The accuracy of FIT (> 100 ng/ml) in detecting mucosal inflammation (MES>0) was 0.93, whereas that of TUS (BWT>2 mm) in each segment was 0.84-0.97. The combined use of TUS and FIT may be helpful in noninvasive treatment strategies.
本研究探讨了经腹超声波造影术(TUS)和粪便免疫化学检验(FIT)的联合使用对溃疡性结肠炎(UC)患者粘膜炎症的检测作用,以及与梅奥内镜子评分(MES)的比较。63 名接受过 TUS 和 FIT 检查的 UC 患者接受了回顾性研究。TUS 将结肠分为五段,测量并评估肠壁厚度。FIT(> 100 ng/ml)检测粘膜炎症(MES>0)的准确率为 0.93,而 TUS(BWT>2 mm)检测各段粘膜炎症的准确率为 0.84-0.97。联合使用 TUS 和 FIT 可能有助于制定无创治疗策略。
