Lewis Score
The Lewis Score is an aid to diagnosis that provides an approximate measure of degree and extent of
mucosal damage based on direct visual imaging of the small intestine not provided by current
methodologies. The index is based on quantitative and qualitative descriptors relating to three
endoscopic variables: villous edema, ulceration, and stenosis. Combined with other clinical parameters
(symptoms, patient and family history, previous diagnostic tests, lab values), the score could provide a
threshold for differential diagnosis and be used to monitor the progress of treatment.
• An automated scoring system provides greater standardization of disease activity assessment.
• Provides an additional point of evaluation to assist in determining appropriate patient management.
• The Lewis Score facilitates communication and standardization for assessing disease states before,
during, and after treatment.
• Monitoring therapy effectiveness with a standardized score has clinical value.
