The Endoscopic Assesment of Intestinal Grafts

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Transplant; Intestine, Transplant; Complication, Rejection, Transplant; Failure, Bowel, Enteritis, Mucosal Inflammation

In brief

The study validates prospectively a new endoscopic scoring system (Gothenburg Intestinal Transplant Endoscopy Score, GITES) designed to summarize and stratify the abnormal ileal endoscopic findings after intestinal transplantation. GITES is a five-tier, four grade score which asseses mucosal friability, mucosal erythema and mucosal injury (ulcerations) as well as villous changes according to severity. These features (i.e., endoscopic descriptors) are also grouped from mild to very severe in the same sequence as observed during the progression of several pathologic conditions encountered after intestinal transplantation (acute rejection, infectious enteritis).
