Abstract

The Lewis Score (LS) and the Capsule Endoscopy Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CECDAI) are scoring indices for small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) and small bowel lesions. We proposed the new capsule endoscopic scoring index (CDACE) correlated with existing scores. CDACE is evaluated by dividing the small intestine into four sections, determining the sum (range: 0-16) of the degree of inflammation at each section (range: 0-4; inflammatory score: A), the number of sections with inflammation (range: 0-4; zone score: B), and the degree of stenosis (range: 0-3; stenosis score: C), and using the equation CDACE=A×100+B×10+C (range: 0–1643).
