Research Article: A new Simple Endoscopic Score for Ulcerative Colitis – the SES-UC

Date Published: 2024-12-13

Abstract:
Background & objectives: Endoscopy is the current gold standard for evaluation of disease activity in ulcerative colitis. The Mayo Endoscopic Subscore (MES) is commonly used for quantifying disease activity, but it has several weaknesses. Numerous new endoscopic indices have been developed but none of these have been widely implemented, likely due to limited feasibility. The primary objective of this study was thus to develop a simple, reliable, endoscopic index for ulcerative colitis. Secondary objectives were to evaluate and compare the MES, the Ulcerative Colitis Endoscopic Index of Severity (UCEIS), and the Ulcerative Colitis Colonoscopic Index of Severity (UCCIS), as well as examining the agreement between full colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy.
