Mayo Score/Evidence
Method evidence record

Mayo Score

The Mayo Score is a validated tool for assessing disease activity in ulcerative colitis, integrating clinical symptoms and endoscopic findings. Introduced by Schroeder and colleagues in 1987, it has become the reference standard for UC activity assessment in clinical trials and practice. The score combines stool frequency, rectal bleeding, overall physician global assessment, and endoscopic subscore into a single 0–12 scale.
