International consensus to standardise histopathological scoring for small bowel strictures in Crohn's disease. Gut. 2022 Mar;71(3):479-486. doi: 10.1136/gutjnl-2021-324374. Epub 2021 May 5. PMID: 33952604; PMCID: PMC8903083. Abstract Objective: Effective medical therapy and validated trial outcomes are lacking for small bowel Crohn’s disease (CD) strictures. Histopathology of surgically resected specimens is the gold standard for correlation with imaging techniques. However, no validated histopathological scoring systems are currently available for small bowel stricturing disease. We convened an expert panel to evaluate the appropriateness of histopathology scoring systems and items generated based on panel opinion.
