    Harvey-Bradshaw Index (HBI) for Crohn's Disease

    Stratifies severity of Crohn's disease.
    Why Use
    • Simpler than the CDAI, which requires symptoms over the past 7 days.
    • Shown to have 93% correlation with the CDAI in the original study (Harvey 1980), a figure that has been duplicated in subsequent studies (Gomes 1986).
