| Abstract | In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), proxy measures of clinical outcome are often collected into summary indices of qualitative self-rated disease markers, clinical observations, and quantitative biochemical analyses. In Crohn's disease (CD), a frequently used index is the Crohn's disease activity index (DCAI). This index consists of six qualitative variables and two quantitative variables. The aim of this presentation is to illustrate the use of this index to calculate its range, to estimate errors in the index, its sensitivity, and the number of significant steps in the index. The measure of sensitivity of the summary index was analyzed for the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the reference change value (RCV) and the confidence interval (CI). If identical errors were assumed in patient self-rated health and clinically judged disease manifestations, such as tumours and fistulas, the majority of the variance of the index was caused by the self-rated experience of health, the number of days over which the individual variable was rated, and the prognostic multiplier of each variable.The range of the index has no upper limit, but can be estimated to 403 units, of which patient self-rating of well-being account for up to one-third of the summary index maximal score range. The median signal noise measure of index sensitivity was 18 SDs. The two disease classification limits of 150 units for moderate disease and 450 for severe disease on average cover an interval of limit ±41.5 units vs. ±60.5 units. In judgments on change in clinical outcome the RCV interval of steps of 121 units are valid. Conclusion: Both variance and range of the CDAI summary score are primarily decided by the self-rated experience of well-being. Variables on disease signs have a minor impact on the index. Rating of the two important outcome parameters: Self-experienced health and medical outcome would favourably be given in two individual scores. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
