Development of SES-CD The Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn s Disease (SES-CD), was developed in 2004 and was: an attempt to simplify the CDEIS based on importance and reproducibility of the most relevant endoscopic characteristics of CD. Daperno M et al. Gastrointest. Endosc 2004 4

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
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
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
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 : 0-2 11. CDEIS score of 4 or less 12. CDEIS < 6 or 7 * No proposed definition of SES-CD = 0 22
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
