Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) modified montreal data

The data uses a modified Montreal classification for ulcerative colitis disease extent based on inflammation in colonoscopy biopsies. The classification is provided for both UC patients and Crohn’s patients for the given date of colonoscopy.

This data augments the SNOMED data with 1) a modified Montreal classification of disease extent based on inflammation in colonoscopy biopsies in colon and rectum, and 2) status of inflammation in the terminal ileum. Montreal status and ileum status is assigned for all of the endoscopies sharing a date, since a single event can create multiple samples. Only samples with inflammation (morphological codes M4*, D6255, D6216) were considered for inflammation status. For samples with Snomed T code T670, location was inferred from location names in free text field. The keywords and inferred locations are detailed in the table at the end of the document.
