Full, Partial, and Modified Permutations of the Mayo Score: Characterizing Clinical and Patient-Reported Outcomes in Ulcerative Colitis Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Understanding ulcerative colitis disease activity assessed via the full, modified, or partial Mayo Score may help clinicians apply results from clinical trials to practice and facilitate interpretation of recent and older studies.

Methods

Mayo Score variables were assessed in a cross-sectional study of 2608 ulcerative colitis patients.

Results

Permutations of Mayo Scores were highly correlated, and models predicting the omitted variable from each permutation demonstrated significant agreement between predicted and observed values.

Conclusions

Partial/modified Mayo Scores may be used to predict endoscopic and Physician's Global Assessment scores, and serve as proxies for the full Mayo Score in clinical practice/trials.
