The Use of Fecal Calprotectin and Intestinal Ultrasound in the Evaluation and Management of Stricturing Crohn’s Disease in Pregnancy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
To the Editors, Intestinal strictures affect over 30% of individuals with Crohn’s disease (CD),1 with the peak age of onset of CD overlapping with childbearing years. Distinguishing CD strictures that will respond to medical therapy and those that will not is challenging. In pregnancy, instituting medical therapy is further complicated by high levels of patient anxiety regarding medications, and surgery for symptomatic strictures is a confronting and high-risk prospect.2 Herein, we discuss our diagnostic approach to and management of stricturing CD in pregnancy with reference to clinical case examples. A 33-year-old gestation 4, para 2 with Montreal classification A1L1B2 Crohn’s Disease (CD) on oral 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) presented at 11 weeks’ gestational age with abdominal pain and vomiting. Her previous pregnancies were complicated by hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), to which her recent symptoms were attributed. Her fecal calprotectin (FC) was 24 ug/g. A magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) performed...

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
