Defining normal bowel wall thickness in children with inflammatory bowel disease in deep remission: A multicenter study on behalf of the pediatric committee of the International Bowel Ultrasound Group (IBUS)
Previously inflamed BWT for children with IBD in sustained deep remission was less than 2.5 mm, which is less than 3 mm in adults, and unaffected by age, sex, and bowel segment in this population. BWT may be affected by weight and disease duration. These findings are crucial to the standardized assessment of transmural healing in children.
