Bowel ultrasound scan in the management of pediatric moderate ulcerative colitis: The applicability of international bowel ultrasound segmental activity score

The authors aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of bowel ultrasound (BUS) and the international bowel ultrasound segmental activity score (IBUS-SAS) in assessing and predicting outcomes in children with moderate ulcerative colitis. Their findings indicate that BUS is a reliable, non-invasive method for monitoring disease activity, with IBUS-SAS demonstrating good predictive capabilities for clinical remission and the need for colectomy within 12 months.
