Release date: 2015-02-05

Recently, researchers from the Department of Gastroenterology, Southern Hospital of Southern Medical University published a paper to explore the value of endoscopic ultrasonography in the diagnosis of Crohn's disease (CD). The study pointed out that under EUS, the digestive tract level of CD can be clearly observed and the diagnostic accuracy is high. At the same time, EUS can well find extraintestinal complications such as sacral and abscess, which can provide valuable information for surgical treatment. The article was published in the 06th issue of the Chinese Journal of Digestive Endoscopy in 2014.

Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) was performed in 436 patients with suspected endoscopic CD, and the consistency between EUS diagnosis and clinical diagnosis was statistically analyzed.

Clinically diagnosed CD297 cases, non-CD 139 cases, EUS diagnosis CD 277 cases (17 cases were clinically diagnosed as non-CD), non-CD 159 cases (37 cases were clinically diagnosed as CD), EUS diagnostic CD sensitivity, specificity and The accuracy rates were 87.5% (260/297), 87.8% (122/139) and 87.6% (382/436), respectively. In addition, in 297 patients with confirmed CD, 40 cases of submucosal vasodilation, 13 cases of abscess, 5 cases of abscess, and 75 cases of enlarged lymph nodes outside the wall were found under EUS.
