Risk Predictive Values of ACG Classification in a Cohort of Colon Ischemia: Redefining the Definition of Mild disease

Abstract

Introduction: Although most cases of colon ischemia (CI) are mild and self-limiting, when severe it implies high mortality rates. We aimed to evaluate the risk predictive value of the classi!cation proposed by American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) guidelines (2015), created to provide a management algorithm.
