Abstract

Autors´conclusions: an easy-to-use ultrasound scoring scale has been developed that allows the diagnosis of moderate-severe inflammatory activity in pediatric Crohn's disease.

Reviewers´ commentary: the prediction rule presented shows a moderate capacity to differentiate between patients in remission and with moderate-severe activity, and an even lower capacity to distinguish between intermediate degrees of inflammatory activity. No external validation of the scale is carried out.
