Capsule Endoscopy May Reclassify Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Historical Analysis

Abstract

Capsule endoscopy may lead to reclassification of IBD from UC/ IC to definitive CD. In addition, previously diagnosed patients with CD may be found to have a more significant burden of small bowel disease. Taken together, this information may facilitate more targeted and effective therapies and potentially lead to better patient outcomes.
