A simple clinical colitis activity index.
BACKGROUND The appropriate medical treatment of patients with ulcerative colitis is determined largely by the severity of symptoms. Hospital assessment of the severity of disease activity includes investigation of laboratory indices and sigmoidoscopic assessment of mucosal inflammation. AIMS To develop a simplified clinical colitis activity index to aid in the initial evaluation of exacerbati...
متن کاملOn the physician-completed and the patient-completed simple clinical colitis activity index (SCCAI).
We commend Bennebroek Evertsz' et al.1 on their work comparing a version of the physician-completed Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index (SCCAI)2 with a patientcompleted version. We, too, believe this is a way of moving toward patient-centered and patient-initiated care. The 2 scores as used here, however, show deviation from the original Index in both use and redesign. Firstly, we note that ...
متن کاملAppraisal of the pediatric ulcerative colitis activity index (PUCAI).
BACKGROUND We evaluated the psychometric performance of the Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index (PUCAI) in a real-life cohort from the Pediatric IBD Collaborative Research Group. METHODS Two consecutive visits of 215 children with ulcerative colitis (UC) were included (mean age 11.2 +/- 3.6 years; 112 (52%) males; 63 (29%) newly diagnosed and the others after disease duration of 24 +/...
متن کاملThe patient simple clinical colitis activity index (P-SCCAI) can detect ulcerative colitis (UC) disease activity in remission: a comparison of the P-SCCAI with clinician-based SCCAI and biological markers.
AIM To develop a patient-based Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index (P-SCCAI) of ulcerative colitis (UC) activity and to compare it with the clinician-based SCCAI, C-reactive protein (CRP) and Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) of UC activity. Monitoring UC activity may give patients disease control and prevent unnecessary examinations. METHODS Consecutive UC patients randomly completed th...
متن کاملA SIMPLE ALGORITHM FOR COMPUTING DETOUR INDEX OF NANOCLUSTERS
Let G be the chemical graph of a molecule. The matrix D = [dij ] is called the detour matrix of G, if dij is the length of longest path between atoms i and j. The sum of all entries above the main diagonal of D is called the detour index of G. In this paper, a new algorithm for computing the detour index of molecular graphs is presented. We apply our algorithm on copper and silver nanoclusters ...
