Multidetector CT Enterography versus Double-Balloon Enteroscopy: Comparison of the Diagnostic Value for Patients with Suspected Small Bowel Diseases

Table 3

Diagnostic yield in patients with different diseases.

Diagnoses	(%)	Diagnostic yield
		MDCTE	DBE	value
Inflammatory diseases^1	92 (48.4%)	23 (25.0%)	83 (90.2%)	<0.05
Gastrointestinal tumors/polyps^2	41 (21.6%)	23 (56.1%)	31 (75.6%)	0.096
Angioma/angiodysplasia	19 (10.0%)	5 (26.3%)	15 (78.9%)	<0.05
Diverticulum^3	16 (8.4%)	2 (12.5%)	16 (100.0%)	—^5
Others^4	22 (11.6%)	11 (50.0%)	13 (59.1%)	0.754
Total	190 (100.0%)	64 (33.7%)	158 (83.2%)	<0.05

Inflammatory diseases include ulcers/erosions (), Crohn’s disease (), intestinal tuberculosis (), ulcerative colitis (), and inflammatory bowel disease ().
²Gastrointestinal tumors/polyps include neoplasm (), gastrointestinal stromal tumors (), lymphoma (), metastatic tumors (), pancreatic tumor (), gastrointestinal carcinoma (), leiomyoma (), multiple prominences (), polyps (), Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (), and familial polyposis ().
³Four of the sixteen patients were Meckel’s diverticulum.
⁴Others include incomplete intestinal obstruction (), intestinal bleeding (), ancylostomiasis (), connective tissue disease (), anaphylactoid purpura (), ileal duplication (), pancreatitis (), and functional gastrointestinal disorders ().
⁵As the diagnostic yield of DBE for diverticulum was 100% and was considered to be constant quantity in SPSS, χ²-test was not applicable.
