About this calculator
The Mayo Score (RCU) is a tool used to assess the severity of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in adult patients.
It is based on the Mayo Clinic formula, which takes into account the presence of clinical signs and symptoms of the disease, such as abdominal pain, fever, diarrhea, and intestinal bleeding.
The Mayo Score is used to determine the need for additional testing, such as colonoscopy, and to monitor the response to treatment.
It is essential to use the Mayo Score only in adult patients with symptoms compatible with IBD and after consulting a doctor for a complete evaluation.
