Abstract
Background: Although few comparative studies exist in the literature, a growing body of evidence suggests that EUS is a sensitive modality for the diagnosis of perianal fistulas in CD. Despite the availability of clinical guidelines, it remains unclear how experts rate the appropriateness of EUS compared with other diagnostic modalities for perianal CD. We therefore performed a survey of IBD experts to elicit their opinion regarding the appropriateness of EUS for perianal CD. Methods: In collaboration with content and methods experts, we developed a survey comprised of 5 clinically relevant vignettes pertaining to the diagnosis and management of CD including one vignette describing a new presentation of perianal fistula in a patient with known CD.
