Materials and Methods: We retrospectively examined data from patients with colitis from May 2010 to January 2014 and assigned them to two groups: UC cases and specific colitis cases. First, we clarified the difference in the AOI+ rate between the two groups. Thereafter, imaging findings of all the patients with colitis were reexamined. Features of AOI alone or in combination with proctitis (referred to as &amp;ldquo;combination features&amp;rdquo;) were considered as the two separate diagnostic criteria for diagnosing UC. By comparing the current diagnoses with the previous diagnoses, evaluation indexes were obtained. Results: A total of 3582 colitis cases (UC cases: 427; specific colitis cases: 3155) were examined. The mean AOI+ rates in UC and specific colitis cases were 26.2% and 0.7%, respectively; a Chi-squared test indicated that the difference between these rates was statistically significant (x2=6.81; p&amp;lt;0.001, OR=50.99). When the AOI features alone were used to diagnose UC, the sensitivity was 26.2% [95% confidence interval (CI), 22.3%&amp;ndash;30.6%], agreement rate was 90.6%, and specificity was 99.3% (95% CI, 98.9%&amp;ndash;99.5%). When the combination features were used to diagnose UC, the sensitivity was 26.2% (95% CI, 22.3%&amp;ndash;30.6%), agreement rate was 91.1%, and specificity was 99.9% (95% CI, 99.7%&amp;ndash;100%). Conclusion: Combining AOI features and proctitis may lead to a more effective UC diagnosis and enable physiciansto identify this condition more promptly among miscellaneous diseases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5152\/tjg.2016.16215","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,25]],"date-time":"2016-10-25T05:24:12Z","timestamp":1477373052000},"page":"444-449","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Diagnostic evaluation of appendiceal orifice inflammation in ulcerative colitis"],"prefix":"10.5152","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Da-Qin","family":"Zhan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xing","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dan Yu","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shu Jing","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhi Feng","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rui Jun","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Hou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3111","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,15]]},"container-title":["Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.turkjgastroenterol.org\/index.php\/tjg\/article\/download\/2960\/2638","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T11:03:14Z","timestamp":1777374194000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.turkjgastroenterol.org\/index.php\/tjg\/article\/view\/2960"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,15]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,15]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5152\/tjg.2016.16215","relation":{},"ISSN":["2148-5607"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2148-5607","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,15]]}}}
