Abstract

effective in predicting severe illness requiring hospitalization or surgery (S1BDQ 39.3 _+ 10.2 v 506 + 13.1 (mean -+ SD); p = <0.02). Conclusions: The SIBDQ is an easily obtained measurement in routine clinical practice, which correlates well with the HB disease activity index. The SIBDQ was also effective in predicting significant clinical illness in CD ostomates, who are excluded from disease activity instruments which require a record of diarrheal episodes. We advocate the routine use of the SIBDQ as a readily obtained instrument for following CD patients, including ostomates, in climcal practice and research.
