Patient-Reported Outcome - Crohn's disease outcome measure flow
Introduction
The PRO2 is a Patient-reported outcome derived from the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) and determines the current severity of Crohn’s disease[1,2].
Calculation of the PRO2 was implemented as agreed upon by AZ Delta, AZ Maria Middelares and Imelda. Specifications can be found in this file
The Patient-Reported Outcome - Crohn's disease outcome measure flow contains the Patient-Reported Outcome (PRO-2) - Crohn's disease outcome measure questionnaire and associated calculation. After form submission, the Patient-Reported Outcome - Crohn's disease outcome measure calculation is executed automatically. It's easy to extend this flow with conditional logic based on the interpretation of the Patient-Reported Outcome - Crohn's disease outcome measure calculation.

Questions and Scoring
A subscore for Stool Frequency (SF) and Abdominal Pain (AP) is calculated by summing the weighted scores for these categories. The total score is the sum of all weighted scores.
Remission is determined as follows:
- SF & AP subscore <= 11 AND
- Raw SF score (unweighted) <= 3 AND
- Raw AP score (unweighted) <= 1
Result is a "0" or a "1" and can be interpreted as follows:
- 0 = No remission
- 1 = Remission
