Simple clinical colitis activity index
Purpose
Determining severity of ulcerative colitis
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. It was created in 1998 and is still used to assess the severity of symptoms.[1] It is also used for research purposes to determine the efficacy of various treatments aimed at relieving symptoms.[2] The calculated score ranges from 0 to 19, where active disease is a score of 5 or higher.[citation needed]
The score is determined by asking the person with colitis questions regarding:[citation needed]
Bowel frequency at day/night
Urgency of defecation
Blood in stool
General health
Extracolonic manifestations
