Clinical intent

The Simple clinical colitis activity index (SCCAI) is a diagnostic tool and questionnaire used to assess the severity of symptoms in people who suffer from ulcerative colitis[1].

The score is determined by asking the person with colitis questions regarding:

  • Bowel frequency at day/night
  • Urgency of defecation
  • Blood in stool
  • General health
  • Extracolonic manifestations

Calculation

Simply the sum of all answer values is taken, this results in a total score on /19.

Clinical interpretation

The higher the score, the more active the disease.
