Abstract
Background: Intestinal ultrasound (IUS) is a safe and effective way for the diagnosis and surveillance of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It allows a noninvasive and reproducible follow-up for patients with IBD.
Aim: To compare the outcomes of colonoscopy and IUS in diagnosing and monitoring patients with IBD.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted over a three-year period (January 2021 to April 2024) comparing endoscopic and IUS findings. A total of 101 patients were included in the study (68 with Crohn's disease and 33 with ulcerative colitis). All patients underwent both IUS and colonoscopy within a 10-day period.
Results: The study found a strong correlation between bowel thickening on IUS and inflammatory activity (P = 0.004), IUS remission and endoscopic remission (P = 0.03), IUS and endoscopic location (P = 0.04), as well as IUS and computed tomography scan findings for collection diagnosis (P < 0.01).
Conclusion: The study's findings demonstrated excellent results for using IUS in the diagnosis and follow-up of IBD patients.
