Abstract
Background and aims: Pouchitis is a common adverse event after proctocolectomy with ileal pouch anal anastomosis for ulcerative colitis. Evaluation of pouchitis disease activity and response to treatment requires use of validated indices. We assessed the reliability of items evaluating endoscopic pouchitis disease activity.
