| Description: |
Background Intestinal ultrasound (IUS) is an emerging non-invasive modality for real-time monitoring in ulcerative colitis (UC). Its role in predicting treatment response and long-term outcomes in severe UC remains underexplored. Aims To evaluate the accuracy of IUS - particularly bowel wall thickness (BWT), in predicting treatment response and future outcomes in patients with severe UC. Methods A comprehensive electronic search was conducted on Medline, Embase and Cochrane through December 2024 to identify prospective cohort studies and randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Primary outcome was the predictive accuracy of ≥ 20% reduction in bowel wall thickness. Secondary outcomes included colectomy rates and steroid response using BWT thresholds (4.0 mm was associated with an OR of 9.5 (95% CI: 1.5–186) for colectomy at 3 months. A BWT reduction |
