Popis: Background Most endoscopic scoring systems (including the Mayo endoscopic subscore, MES) do not consider the extent of inflammation and can therefore not pick up segmental endoscopic improvement. The modified Mayo endoscopic score (MMES) was developed to overcome this limitation. We examined the predictive value of the MMES in addition to the MES on long-term clinical outcome in ulcerative colitis (UC). Methods Between 2014 and 2017, patients initiating biologic therapy for active UC (baseline MES ≥2) were recruited. Patients without assessment of the upper margin of inflammation or with a clinical follow-up 1 but decrease in MMES ≥30%) and group C (MES >1 and no drop in MMES ≥30%). Clinical relapse-free, discontinuation-free and colectomy-free survival was estimated by Kaplan-Meier analysis with log-rank test. Results A total of 150 UC patients were included (52% male, median age 42 years, median disease duration 7 years) with a median (IQR) follow-up of 61 (48–68) months. An anti-TNF was initiated in 74 (35 IFX, 23 ADM, 16 GOL), and VDZ in 76 patients. A significant reduction in MES and MMES was observed at week 8/14 (cf. table). In group A 67/69 (97%) patients achieved clinical response compared to 15/27 (55%) in group B and 11/54 (20%) in group C. During follow-up 60/93 (65%) patients maintained clinical response, 83/150 (55%) patients discontinued treatment due to primary non-response or loss of response and 33/150 (22%) patients underwent colectomy. The ΔMMES demonstrated to be of additional predictive value: there was a significant difference between groups B and C regarding clinical relapse, drug persistence and need for colectomy (cf. figure). Conclusion Although MES ≤1 remains the best predictor of long-term outcome, the MMES - identifying a subgroup with a segmental endoscopic response - demonstrated a clear additional value predicting long-term outcome in UC. These promising results merit inclusion of the MMES in future clinical trials. Table The MMES is calculated by multiplying the Mayo endoscopic subscore for the different colon segments with the maximal extent of inflammation (in decimeters) divided by the number of segments with active inflammation (Lobatón T, et al.
