Correlation between increased ultrasonographic bowel-wall thickness and colonoscopic activity in different segments of the colon.
Segment of the colon | Patients with BWT ≥3 mm | Patients with SES-CD ≥3 | r s-value | P-value |
---|---|---|---|---|
Ileum | 83 (70.9) | 60 (51.3) | 0.483 | <0.001 |
Right colon | 54 (46.2) | 53 (45.3) | 0.576 | <0.001 |
Transverse | 33 (28.2) | 31 (26.5) | 0.660 | <0.001 |
Left colon | 35 (29.9) | 33 (28.2) | 0.609 | <0.001 |
Rectum | 7 (6.0) | 12 (10.3) | 0.332 | <0.001 |
Data are presented as n (%).
BWT, bowel-wall thickness; rs, Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient; SES-CD, simple endoscopic score for Crohn's disease.
