Clinical value of using double balloon enteroscopy combined with endoscopic ultrasound to evaluate Crohn’s disease of the small bowel: a retrospective study

The mpSES-CD and Harvey-Bradshaw Index correlate well. Endoscopic ultrasound can determine disease severity by measuring each bowel wall layer's thickness and observing the distinction between the layers. This combination of techniques can compensate for the shortcomings in diagnosing the depth of the vertical infiltration of Crohn's disease using white-light endoscopy.
