The purpose of this crohns disease activity index (PCDAI) calculator is to gauge the progress or lack of progress for people with pediatric crohns disease
he tool was based on article Ryżko and Woynarowski . It is a point evaluation scale of disease activity Pediatric Chron s and ulcerative colitis in children
Bottom line is that you need to use the PCDAI on a regular basis and view it as a personal gauge. Watch for changes in your score (your gauge).
This indicator does NOT predicts the outcome of the disease. Crohns disease conditions vary for each patient. This calculator is only a gauge of progress i.e. not a prognosis tool!
