Harvey-Bradshaw Index

The Harvey-Bradshaw Index (HBI) is a simple, clinician-administered tool for assessing disease activity in Crohn's disease. Developed in 1980, it measures five clinical parameters including abdominal pain, stool frequency, and extraintestinal manifestations. The HBI is widely used in clinical practice and research for monitoring disease progression and treatment response.
