Abstract

Key PointsQuestionWhat is the diagnostic performance of magnetic resonance enterography, which is a noninvasive and radiation-free technique, for detection of active inflammation in pediatric patients with known or suspected inflammatory bowel disease? FindingsIn this systematic review and meta-analysis that included 18 original articles involving 687 patients, the summary sensitivity was 83% and the summary specificity was 93%. Based on per-patient analysis, the summary sensitivity was 86% and specificity was 91%. MeaningMagnetic resonance enterography demonstrates high diagnostic performance in the diagnosis of active inflammation in pediatric patients with known or suspected inflammatory bowel disease, especially at the per-patient level.
