Usefulness of Endoscopic Indices in Determination of Disease Activity in Patients with Crohn’s Disease
Table 6
Correlations of results for evaluation by histological index (Scoring System for Crohn’s Disease) and two endoscopic indices (Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn’s Disease and Crohn’s Disease Endoscopic Index of Severity) for patients with Crohn’s disease and the control group. Correlations made in five intestinal segments: terminal ileum (ILE), right colon (RCO), transverse colon (TRA), left colon (LCO), and rectum (REC).
