SONO-MICI: Bowel Sounds Analysis in Paediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Relationship With wPCDAI
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The precise and noninvasive evaluation of disease activity among patients with Crohn's disease is not easy, especially for children. It deals with clinical, biological, histological and radiological parameters.
Bowel sounds (BS) when evaluated by a stethoscope are modified by several factors including surgery, infection, drugs or intestinal inflammation. These factors can interact on intestinal motricity. There is a direct relationship between gastrointestinal motility and characteristics of BW. The study of BS using a stethoscope is a simple method, although operator dependent and subjective,with a wide inter and intraindividual variability. Some studies among adults showed interest in the spectral analysis of BS to assess gastrointestinal motility. This more precise and reproducible method is not operator dependent.
To date, no such study has evaluated the correlation between disease activity and the spectral pattern of BS.
of this project is to assess the correlation between disease activity and the spectral pattern of BS in pediatric Crohn's disease.

wPCDAI is WEIGHTED PAEDIATRIC CROHN'S DISEASE ACTIVITY INDEX
- correlation between wPCDAI and frequency of bowel sounds [one day]
wPCDAI is WEIGHTED PAEDIATRIC CROHN'S DISEASE ACTIVITY INDEX
