Of the remaining 11 patients, ten showed high-grade intussusception (positive predictive value 91 per cent). Only three of seven patients with a normal IAS had high-grade intussusception (negative predictive value 57 per cent). Patients with a thick IAS were significantly more likely to have proctographic evidence of high-grade intussusception (P = 0\u00b7047).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n
