Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - DNA profile to identify genetic risk factors in 10 mL EDTA. - Colitis based on clinical symptomatology, sigmoidoscopy, pathological findings from biopsies and immunological tests in those biopsies. - Defining the severity of epithelial dysfunction measured with MAYO score and BRISTOL stool scale, the measurement of calprotectin level and microbiome composition in the stool and serum IL-8, citrullin, FABP, calprotectin, endotoxin and CRP levels during visits to the outpatient clinic. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| A simple, cheap, diagnostic test will be developed using these data which can be rapidly adopted in clinical practice (e.g. calprotectin level in the stool or serum IL-8, citrullin, FABP, calprotectin, endotoxin and CRP-levels, or a combination). | — |
