Simple Endoscopic Score for CD (SES-CD)a

Ileum Right Colon Transverse Colon Left Colon Rectum Total
Size of ulcers (diameter) 0 = Absent
1 = Aphthous ulcers, 0.1–0.5 cm
2 = Large ulcers, 0.5–2 cm
3 = Very large ulcers, >2 cm
Ulcerated surface 0 = none
1 = <10% of the segment
2 = 10–30% of the segment
3 = >30% of the segment
Affected surface 0 = none
1 = <50% of the segment
2 = 50–75% of the segment
3 = >75% of the segment
Presence of narrowings 0 = none
1 = Single, passable by scope
2 = Multiple, passable by scope
3 = Not passable, frank stenosis

Notes: In the majority of studies, CD severity is defined as inactive when SES-CD was 0–2; mild when 3–6; moderate 7–15; and severe >16.42 aData from Daperno M, D’Haens G, Van Assche G, et al.
