Predictors of colorectal carcinoma and inflammatory bowel disease in patients with colonic wall thickening.

Background And Aim: Colonic wall thickening (CWT) is commonly associated with clinically significant pathologies, but predictive factors of such pathologies are not well known. This study aims to identify the predictors of clinically significant pathologies, such as colorectal carcinoma (CRC) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), in patients with CWT.

Methods: Subjects with an abnormal abdominal computed tomography (CT) and a follow-up colonoscopy between 2010 and 2020 were retrospectively reviewed.
