Inflammatory burden index (CRP×NLR) is associated with moderate-to-severe endoscopic activity in hospitalized patients with ulcerative colitis: a single-center retrospective study.
Crohn's & colitis 360

Inflammatory burden index (CRP×NLR) is associated with moderate-to-severe endoscopic activity in hospitalized patients with ulcerative colitis: a single-center retrospective study.

The study tests whether a simple blood-derived index (CRP×NLR) can help identify moderate-to-severe endoscopic inflammation when timely endoscopy is limited in hospitalized UC patients.
