Abstract
Background and aims: The Crohn’s Disease Endoscopic Index of Severity [CDEIS] and Simplified Endoscopic Score for Crohn’s Disease [SES-CD] demonstrate consistent overall intra- and inter-rater reliability. However, the reliability of some index items is relatively poor. We evaluated scoring conventions to improve the reliability of these items.
