As already known, spondyloarthritis patients present a striking resemblance in intestinal inflammation with early Crohn\u2019s disease. Moreover, the frequent use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is an important part of their treatment. Both conditions could lead to intestinal stenoses. Therefore we proposed to investigate the usefulness of the patency capsule test in patients with spondyloarthritis.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Material and methods<\/jats:bold>. 64 consecutive patients (33 males; mean age 38 \u00b1 11 years) that fulfilled the AMOR criteria for seronegative spondyloarthropathy (59.4% ankylosing spondylitis) lacking symptoms or signs of intestinal stenosis were enrolled and submitted to an AGILE\u2122 capsule patency test followed by a video capsule endoscopy (PillCam SB2\u2122), as part of a protocol investigating the presence of intestinal inflammatory lesions. After reviewing the VCE recordings, the Lewis score (of small bowel inflammatory involvement) was computed.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>. In only 5 patients (7.8%) of the study group, the luminal patency test was negative. However, there was no retention of the videocapsule in any of the patients. From the 59 patients with a positive patency test, 3 patients presented single small bowel stenoses (two with ulcerated overlying inflamed mucosa, one cicatricial), all being traversed by the videocapsule along the length of the recording. None of the patients with a negative test had bowel stenoses. There was no correlation between the patency test and the Lewis score, the C reactive protein value, diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease, or the family history of spondyloarthritis, psoriasis or inflammatory bowel disease.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Conclusion<\/jats:bold>. The AGILE patency capsule does not seem to be a useful tool for all patients with spondyloarthritis prior to small bowel videocapsule endoscopy (ClinicalTrial.gov ID NCT 00768950).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/rjim-2017-0007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,19]],"date-time":"2017-01-19T12:34:05Z","timestamp":1484829245000},"page":"82-88","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Is the use of AGILE patency capsule prior to videocapsule endoscopy useful in all patients with spondyloarthritis?"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"Andrada","family":"Gheorghe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Gastroenterology Department , \u201cColentina\u201d Clinical Hospital , Bucharest , Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Denise Carmen Mihaela","family":"Zahiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gastroenterology Department , \u201cColentina\u201d Clinical Hospital , Bucharest , Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Theodor Alexandru","family":"Voiosu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gastroenterology Department , \u201cColentina\u201d Clinical Hospital , Bucharest , Romania"},{"name":"Internal Medicine Department , \u201cCarol Davila\u201d University of Medicine , Bucharest , Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bogdan Radu","family":"Mateescu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gastroenterology Department , \u201cColentina\u201d Clinical Hospital , Bucharest , Romania"},{"name":"Internal Medicine Department , \u201cCarol Davila\u201d University of Medicine , Bucharest , Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mihail Radu","family":"Voiosu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gastroenterology Department , \u201cColentina\u201d Clinical Hospital , Bucharest , Romania"},{"name":"Internal Medicine Department , \u201cCarol Davila\u201d University of Medicine , Bucharest , Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mihai","family":"Rimba\u015f","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gastroenterology Department , \u201cColentina\u201d Clinical Hospital , Bucharest , Romania"},{"name":"Internal Medicine Department , \u201cCarol Davila\u201d University of Medicine , Bucharest , Romania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021040609500858001_j_rjim-2017-0007_ref_001_w2aab2b8c19b1b7b1ab1ab1Aa","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"1.
