Abstract
Background and aims: Endoscopic and histologic remission (HR) are key therapeutic targets in the management of ulcerative colitis (UC). The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproducibility of the Paddington International virtual ChromoendoScopy ScOre (PICaSSO), a virtual chromoendoscopy score originally validated by use of the iSCAN platform, with the narrow-band imaging (NBI), linked-color imaging (LCI), and blue-laser imaging (BLI) platforms. Methods: We evaluated endoscopic activity using the Mayo Endoscopic Score (MES), the Ulcerative Colitis Endoscopic Index of Severity (UCEIS), and PICaSSO in 159 UC patients (78 NBI and 81 BLI/LCI) who underwent colonoscopy in 2 tertiary referral centers. HR was defined by the Robarts Histopathology Index (RHI) and the Nancy Histologic Index (NHI). Receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted to evaluate endoscopic scores for the prediction of HR. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) between endoscopists were evaluated. Results: PICaSSO had an ICC of 0.825 when the NBI and BLI/LCI cohorts were combined, higher than MES and UCEIS. The correlation between PICaSSO and RHI and NHI was 0.83 and 0.79 in the NBI cohort and between 0.63 and 0.65 in LCI/BLI. In the NBI cohort, the accuracy of MES, UCEIS, and PICaSSO was 0.936, 0.897, and 0.808 for HR measured by RHI and 0.897, 0.885, and 0.821 by NHI, respectively. In the BLI/LCI cohort, the accuracy of MES, UCEIS, LCI PICaSSO and BLI PICaSSO was 0.765, 0.778, 0.827, and 0.79 to predict HR with RHI and NHI, respectively. Conclusions: The PICaSSO score can be consistently and accurately reproduced with NBI and LCI/BLI and therefore can be applied to all virtual electronic chromoendoscopy platforms.
