11 Correlation between CDEIS and SES-CD Sipponen T et al. Inflam Bowel Dis

12 Definition of endoscopic severity using SES-CD Endoscopic severity with SES-CD (in 4 of 11 studies)* : remission (inactive) (0-2) mild inflammation (3-6) moderate inflammation (7-15) severe inflammation (> or =16) * In total 6 different cut-off definitions, but 6 of 11 studies used similar cutoffs Vuiiton L et al. in preparation 12

13 SES-CD grading vs CDEIS grading SES-CD overestimates severity vs CDEIS in inactive / mild CD Sipponen T et al. Inflam Bowel Dis

14 Definition of endoscopic response with SES-CD Authors Journal Year Definition of response Sipponen et al. Scand J Gastroenterol 2010 A partial response as a one-class change in the SES-CD (inactive 0-2; mild 3-6; moderate 7-15; severe > or =16) Ferrante et al. (SONIC post hoc) Gastroenterology 2013 Decrease from baseline in SES-CD of at least 50%. Grover et al. J Gastroenterol 2014 Absolute score SES-CD 0-3 was defined as a response 14

Gastroenterology;

16 Definition of endoscopic response with SESCD Endoscopic response using SES-CD* A decrease from baseline in SES-CD of at least 50%. 1 * In total 3 different definitions in 3 studies 1 Ferrante et al. GASTROENTEROLOGY

19 IOIBD recommendations on endoscopic indices Methods of the IOIBD Consensus 12 IBD experts from 9 countries Literature reviewing Extracted definitions of endoscopic outcome parameters for remission and response in UC and CD Delphi process based on an internet survey At each voting step, participants blinded from others Vuiiton L et al. in preparation 19

20 IOIBD recommendations on endoscopic response For the definition of endoscopic response in CD retained for vote were : 1. Any improvement in edema, erythema, ulcers and strictures 2. Only mucosal patchy erythema or superficial ulceration ; 3. Near complete healing: erosions if previous large ulcers/partial healing if >33% reduction in ulcer size 4. Decrease in CDEIS (with no definition) 5. Decrease in CDEIS > 5 6. Decrease in SES-CD (ND) 7. Decrease in CDEIS of at least 3 points 8. >75 % decrease in CDEIS 9. > 50% decrease in SES-CD or CDEIS 10. Decrease in CDEIS > 4 or 5 20

21 IOIBD recommendations on endoscopic response For the 10 proposed definitions of endoscopic response in CD at the first vote 11 out of 12 investigators ranked first > 50% decrease in SES-CD No second round was organized due to the high agreement in the first voting round. 21

22 IOIBD recommendations on endoscopic remission 1. For definition of endoscopic remission in CD: 1. Physician assessment of endoscopic healing 2. Absence of edema, erythema, ulcers and strictures 3. No lesion, only scarred lesions, or minor lesions with no deep ulceration 4. Normal mucosa, scarring or pseudo polyps 5. Complete healing : no endoscopic lesion 6. Near complete healing: only aphtous ulcers <5mm 7. Endoscopic remission :CDEIS < 6 / Complete endoscopic remission : CDEIS <3 8. Absence of ulceration 9. Complete healing: resolution of all lesions/ Near complete healing :occasional aphthae, residual erosion, thickened folds 10. SES-CD : CDEIS score of 4 or less 12. CDEIS < 6 or 7 * No proposed definition of SES-CD = 0 22

23 IOIBD recommendations on endoscopic remission For the 12 proposed definitions of endoscopic remission in CD, the four definitions with the highest rank after the 1 st vote were : (1) SES-CD 0-2 (2) remission: CDEIS < 6 / complete remission : CDEIS <3 (3) absence of ulceration (4) CDEIS score of 4 or less. At the second vote the highest median score was : SES-CD 0-2 (median1, mean1.33, SD 0.49), with 100 % of the experts ranking this definition first or second. 23
