Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) is having an increasing role in Crohn's disease; however, fully validated indices are needed. We evaluated the responsiveness of 4 MRE indices in luminal Crohn's disease. METHODS: Paired MRE images (pretreatment and posttreatment at week 12/14) from 41 patients were scored by 3 blinded radiologists. Disease activity was scored for 4 MRE indices (magnetic resonance index of activity [MaRIA], simplified MaRIA, London index, and London "extended" index) and a 100-mm VAS of overall disease activity. The criterion for change was an improvement by at least one-half of an SD in the VAS after treatment. Responsiveness was evaluated using the standardized effect size (SES). Longitudinal validity was evaluated using correlations between changes in MRE index scores and disease activity measures including endoscopy and the VAS. RESULTS: The SES was 1.17 (95% CI: 0.56, 1.77) for the simplified MaRIA, 0.98 (95% CI: 0.42, 1.55) for the MaRIA, 0.95 (95% CI: 0.38, 1.51) for the London "extended" index, and 0.85 (95% CI: 0.31, 1.39) for the London index. The simplified MaRIA was significantly more responsive than the London index (ΔSES=0.32 [95% CI: 0.05, 0.58]) but not the MaRIA (ΔSES=0.18 [95% CI: -0.01, 0.38]) or London "extended" index (ΔSES=0.22 [95% CI: -0.05, 0.50]). Correlations with endoscopy (simplified MaRIA: r=0.72) were not different from correlations with the VAS (London "extended" index: r=0.70). CONCLUSIONS: Evaluated MRE indices showed moderate-to-large responsiveness and are suitable for use in clinical trials. The simplified MaRIA may be preferred due to its responsiveness and nonreliance on gadolinium administration.
