A Pilot study on Prediction of Pouchitis in Ulcerative Colitis Patients by Decision Tree Method Versus Logistic Regression Analysis
Background Pouchitis is a non-specific inflammation of the ileal reservoir and the most frequent complication that patients experience in long periods. Diagnosis should be made based on the clinical, endoscopic, and histological aspects. Prediction of pouchitis is an important issue for the physici...
