Abstract
Aims: To define endoscopic and histological remission in ulcerative colitis accurately, several score systems have been established. A novel Paddington International Virtual ChromoendoScopy ScOre (PICaSSO) virtual electronic chromoendoscopy (VEC) was recently developed, validated, and reproduced to assess inflammation grade and predict prognosis. We externally verified and validated the clinical value of the PICaSSO score in UC patients. Methods: This prospective study enrolled 63 UC patients. The Mayo Endoscopic Score (MES), UC Endoscopic Index of Severity (UCEIS), and PICaSSO score were adopted for endoscopic evaluation. All biopsies were scored using the Robarts Histological Index (RHI), Nancy Histological Index (NHI), and Extent, Chronicity, Activity, and additional findings (ECAP). Patients with an endoscopic MES of 0-1 at baseline were followed up with the median time of 23.5 months. Results: PICaSSO was strongly correlated with other endoscopic and histological scores. PICaSSO ≤3 had advantages in assessing histological remission (HR), with the highest accuracy of 88.9% for ECAP-HR. Relapse-free survival rates were significantly different between patients with MES 0 and MES 1 and patients with PICaSSO ≤3 vs>3 (P = 0.010 and 0.018, respectively). Conclusions: PICaSSO was externally validated with strong correlations with other endoscopic and histopathologic scoring systems in UC, and PICaSSO-ER might potentially predict the better long-term clinical outcomes in UC patients.
