Figure 1 Disease activity algorithm in the constant care application consisting of the simple clinical colitis activity index for patients having ulcerative colitis or the Harvey-Bradshaw Index for patients having Crohn’s disease, plus a validated FC home test.
The total inflammation burden score algorithm is presented as a traffic light system to patients and eCare providers. A: The algorithm of a patient with ulcerative colitis treated with 5-aminosalicylates only; B: Disease activity cut-off values of the algorithm. SCCAI: Simple clinical colitis activity index; HBI: Harvey-Bradshaw Index; TIBS: Total inflammation burden scoring; FC: Fecal calprotectin.
