| Core Tip |
We present the first study that establishes consensual definitions of anoperineal lesions of Crohn’s disease (APLOC) and assesses interobserver agreement on their diagnosis. With the help of APLOC experts, we conducted this work using a formal consensus method validated by the French National Authority for Health. We herein establish the missing consensual definitions and show that experts have substantial interobserver agreement when using them to diagnose and describe fistulae, ulcerations, activity of external openings and erythema from photos. Even if inspection is only one step in the diagnoses of APLOC, we believe this work will help future studies evaluate if and how treatments influence these lesions. |
