The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
- Descriptors
- vascular pattern (0-2), bleeding (0-3), erosions/ulcers (0-3), summed 0-8. The 0-based scale; the original 2012 paper was 1-based (3-11).
- Bands
- remission 0-1, mild 2-4, moderate 5-6, severe 7-8.
