There was a significant correlation trend between the relapse rate and greater than 5 points of an mpSES-CD at DSB; however, there was no correlation between the relapse rate and pSES-CD at the TI. Even when Crohn's disease is in remission, it is important to evaluate DSB using BAE to assess endoscopic mucosal healing. Even when Crohn's disease is in remission, it is important to evaluate DSB using BAE to assess endoscopic mucosal healing. Cutting needles are thought to be effective as biopsy needles. A few types of cutting needles are available for endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA), and the Menghini-type needle is an end-type cutting needle. A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted to compare the results of EUS-FNA using a Menghini-type needle (needle M) versus a conventional needle (needle S). The main eligibility criteria were as follows patients with a pancreatic mass referred for EUS-FNA, ≥ 20years old, and a performance status < 4. The primary outcome was the sample quality. The secondary outcomes were factors associated with the sample quality, diagnostic accuracy, and adverse events. A total of 97 patients were enrolled in this study. The sample quality for total puncture with needle M (92.8%) was significantly higher than that with needle S (81.4%) (p = 0.0305). The tumor size (p = 0.033) and type of needle (p = 0.031) were significant factors associated with adequate tissue collection in univariate and multivariate analyses (odds ratio [OR] 2.71; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.12-6.54; p = 0.027 for tumor size, and OR 2.93; 95% CI 1.23-8.21; p = 0.0153 for type of needle). The diagnostic accuracy of each needle was 88.7% (86/97) with needle M and 73.2% (7
