| Abstract |
Patients with chronic diarrhea often undergo colonoscopy evaluation, however, the performance of biopsies or ileoscopy remains controversial. To evaluate the usefulness of colonoscopy plus biopsies in the study of patients with chronic diarrhea. We retrospectively reviewed patients with chronic diarrhea who underwent colonoscopy between 2015 and 2019. Patients with incomplete data, HIV infection, abnormal endoscopic findings, colonoscopy without blind assessment, being on empiric treatment for diarrhea, and poor diagnosis were excluded. preparation. A descriptive analysis of the characteristics of the patients, histopathological findings and comparison of signs and symptoms according to histopathological finding was performed. 535 patients with chronic diarrhea were evaluated, of these, 283 (52.8%) underwent biopsies. In 55.1% (n=156) of the biopsies some final histopathological diagnosis was obtained. Histopathological diagnoses corresponded to ulcerative colitis (n=3), Crohn's disease (n=5), lymphocytic colitis (n=6), collagenous colitis (n=12), eosinophilic colitis (n=13), infectious colitis (n=13), Melanosis coli (n=15), nonspecific colitis (n=57) and other histological changes (n=32). Crohn's disease was only documented in biopsies of the ileum (p<0.001), ulcerative colitis was only diagnosed in biopsies of the sigmoid rectum (p=0.007), infectious colitis in its highest proportion (30.7%) was documented in biopsies of the right colon (p=0.028). Colonoscopy and biopsies are useful in the investigation of patients with chronic diarrhea, obtaining a histological diagnosis in 55% of patients. Ileoscopy complemented colonoscopy findings to a lesser extent. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 May 2022.
All research outputs
#20,673,680
of 25,392,582 outputs
Outputs from Revista de Gastroenterología del Perú
#54
of 123 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#387,406
of 514,918 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Revista de Gastroenterología del Perú
#3
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,392,582 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 123 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.3. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 514,918 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 5 of them.
