Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the effectiveness and safety of small-bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) in evaluating Crohn's disease (CD) among a large group of patients.
- Of the 544 patients analyzed, 541 underwent SBCE, with a low retention rate of 1.3%, and a high percentage of patients with definitive CD showing assessable endoscopic activity.
- The results indicated that while SBCE is a practical and safe method for assessing CD, there are specific risk factors (like male sex and stenosis) linked to incomplete assessments and capsule retention.
