P130 Intestinal ultrasound combined to fecal calprotectin is effective to predict endoscopic mucosal healing in ulcerative colitis: a cross-sectional study
Abstract:Background
In the "treat-to-target" era, the development of non-invasive markers to assess endoscopic healing in ulcerative colitis (UC) is essential. Fecal calprotectin (FC) and intestinal ultrasound (IUS) are alternatives to colonoscopy to assess UC activity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of IUS and FC to assess endoscopic mucosal healing in UC patient.
