Gut and Liver is an international journal of gastroenterology, focusing on the gastrointestinal tract, liver, biliary tree, pancreas, motility, and neurogastroenterology. Gut atnd Liver delivers up-to-date, authoritative papers on both clinical and research-based topics in gastroenterology. The Journal publishes original articles, case reports, brief communications, letters to the editor and invited review articles in the field of gastroenterology. The Journal is operated by internationally renowned editorial boards and designed to provide a global opportunity to promote academic developments in the field of gastroenterology and hepatology. +MORE

All papers submitted to Gut and Liver are reviewed by the editorial team before being sent out for an external peer review to rule out papers that have low priority, insufficient originality, scientific flaws, or the absence of a message of importance to the readers of the Journal. A decision about these papers will usually be made within two or three weeks.
The remaining articles are usually sent to two reviewers. It would be very helpful if you could suggest a selection of reviewers and include their contact details. We may not always use the reviewers you recommend, but suggesting reviewers will make our reviewer database much richer; in the end, everyone will benefit. We reserve the right to return manuscripts in which no reviewers are suggested.
The final responsibility for the decision to accept or reject lies with the editors. In many cases, papers may be rejected despite favorable reviews because of editorial policy or a lack of space. The editor retains the right to determine publication priorities, the style of the paper, and to request, if necessary, that the material submitted be shortened for publication.

Background/Aims: Sacroiliitis (SI) is one of the most frequent extraintestinal manifestations in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients, but the exact prevalence has not been evaluated in Asia. There are few data on the association between SI and other clinical features of IBD. The prevalence of SI was evaluated using computed tomography (CT) and the phenotypic parameters associated with SI in Korean IBD patients were determined. Methods: Eighty-two patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and 81 patients with Crohn's disease (CD) were evaluated clinically. The presence of SI was evaluated using bone window setting of abdomino-pelvic CT images by two radiologists. Results: The prevalence rates of SI were 12.2% and 21.0% in the UC and CD groups, respectively. There was no relationship between the localization or extent of intestinal inflammation and the presence of SI in the UC group. Multivariate analyses confirmed that perianal and upper-gastrointestinal (from the mouth through to the jejunum) diseases were associated with the occurrence of SI in the CD group (p=0.026 and p=0.047, respectively). Conclusions: SI was as common among Korean IBD patients as among Western patients. Perianal or upper-gastrointestinal involvement is associated with SI in CD patients. (Gut Liver 2010;4:338-344)
