- Original description
This randomized controlled trial evaluates whether adding point-of-care intestinal ultrasound (IUS) to standard of care changes clinical management in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Adult patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis undergoing colonoscopy for disease assessment are randomized 1:1 to standard of care plus IUS at every visit, or standard of care alone, and followed for 48 weeks. The primary outcome is the proportion of patients with a change in treatment.Read full original descriptionShow less
A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Standard of Care With and Without Intestinal Ultrasound Guidance in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
This randomized controlled trial evaluates whether adding point-of-care intestinal ultrasound (IUS) to standard of care changes clinical management in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Adult patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis undergoing colonoscopy for disease assessment are randomized 1:1 to standard of care plus IUS at every visit, or standard of care alone, and followed for 48 weeks. The primary outcome is the proportion of patients with a change in treatment.
Inclusion: Diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease for more than 2 months; Age 18 years or older; Undergoing endoscopy at enrollment for assessment of disease severity.
Exclusion: Unstable underlying medical conditions; Inflammatory bowel disease limited to the distal rectum (within 10 cm of the anal verge) or perianal disease only; Biologic failure; Pregnancy.
