[Evaluation of nonspecific inflammatory bowel disease in children using disease activity scoring systems].

Scoring systems for assessment of clinical activity of IBD were used to evaluate 62 children with IBD (14 with CD, 35 with CU and 13 with CNS). The PCDAI system was most effective in children with CD. In children with CU, both modified Truelove-Witts and Rachmilewitz indexes are equally effective, however use of the Truelove-Witts scale is simpler. The Rachmilewitz scale is better in distinguishing between UC and CNS.
