  • Chapter
Book cover Recent Advances in Crohn’s Disease

Part of the book series: Developments in Gastroenterology ((DIGA,volume 1))

Abstract

Schachter and Kirsner (1) have attempted a definition of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] of unknown origin in adults. None of the presently available methods of assessment of disease activity (2–4) satisfactorily encompass the wide variety of clinical manifestations of IBD in the pediatric population. In 1979 we reported (5) a new clinical score modified from the Shwachman clinical score for cystic fibrosis (6) specifically designed for use in the pediatric population that could be used for both Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. This report extends our observations to a present total of 92 patients seen between 1975–80.
