Clinical significance of the noninvasive mucosal inflammation index for assessing the endoscopic activity of Crohn’s disease in children

Introduction. The use of non-invasive methods for examining patients with endoscopic remission can be useful in identifying the need interventions and assessing disease activity over time.
 Materials methods. We analyzed two hundred thirty medical histories children Crohn’s (CD) who were examined treated at National Medical Research Center Children’s Health. relationship between CD simple score (SES-CD) newly developed mucosal inflammation noninvasive index (MINI) was determined. Similarly, data from 80 ulcerative colitis to identify correlations severity (UCEIS) MINI.
 Results. Among all forms disease, a direct strong correlation found MINI SES-CD (R = 0.81, 
 p < 0.001). A value > 5 indicated absence healing (SES-CD 2 points) sensitivity 73% specificity 84%, ≥13 predicted high ≥ 16 79% 88%, respectively. UCEIS revealed an average relationship, which requires further modification accordance characteristics course disease.
 Conclusion. is intuitive tool children.
