Description
This record contains raw data related to article “Milan Ultrasound Criteria are accurate in assessing disease activity in ulcerative colitis: External validation"
Introduction: The aim of this study was to provide an external validation of bowel ultrasound (US) predictors of
activity in ulcerative colitis (UC) and quantitative Milan Ultrasound Criteria (MUC).
Methods: Forty-three consecutive patients with UC (16 in endoscopic remission and 27 with endoscopic activity)
underwent bowel US and colonoscopy in a tertiary referral inflammatory bowel disease unit.
Results: A MUC score >6.2 discriminated patients with active versus non-active UC with a sensitivity of 0.85 (95%
confidence interval (CI) 0.66–0.96), specificity of 0.94 (95% CI 0.70–0.99) and an area under the curve of 0.902 (95%
CI 0.772–0.971) in complete agreement with the derivation study.
Conclusion: The external validation of MUC confirms that it is an accurate tool for assessing disease activity in
patients with UC.
