Result0 points
Endoscopic remission (UCEIS range 0-8).
- Category
- Endoscopic remission
When to use
- Grading endoscopic severity of ulcerative colitis in a standardised, validated way for trials and clinical practice.
Formula
UCEIS = vascular pattern (0-2) + bleeding (0-3) + erosions and ulcers (0-3), each scored on the worst affected area seen. Range 0-8.
Pearls and pitfalls
- Developed to be more reproducible than the endoscopic component of the Mayo score, which UCEIS was designed to refine.
