Abstract

BACKGROUND: Colonoscopy with biopsy is the "gold" standard for evaluating disease activity in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Current research is geared toward finding non-invasive, cost-efficient methods that estimate disease activity. We aimed to develop a neural network (NN) model for the non-invasive prediction of histologic activity in IBD using routinely available clinical-biological parameters.
