Aim: To evaluate the clinical impact of corticosteroids (CS) overuse in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. Excessive use of CS could delay more efficacious treatment and may indicate poor quality of care.
Method: This is a two-phase study that used Steroid Assessment Tool (SAT) to measure corticosteroid exposure in IBD patients.
Article Synopsis
- Percutaneous ultrasound is a traditional method for diagnosing and treating liver diseases, but its use may be limited to radiologists in some regions, restricting access for other medical professionals like gastroenterologists.
- Endoscopic ultrasound is a newer technique that is important for diagnosing and treating digestive diseases, offering some advantages in certain situations.
- There are cases where endoscopic ultrasound is recommended even without a clear benefit over percutaneous ultrasound, leading to the perception that clinicians might choose endoscopic methods due to lack of access to percutaneous options.
