This international multicentre prospective study aims to develop a new simple score using enhanced endoscopic techniques which focus on the vascular features of the colon and reliably distinguish between a quiescent and a mild inflammation in ulcerative colitis (UC). The diagnostic performance of the new score in defining disease activity/remission compared to existing endoscopic and histological scores and predict long-term clinical outcomes will be evaluated. The study also aims to adapt current artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for enhanced endoscopic techniques to improve standardization in UC disease assessment and outcome prediction.
