Reproducibility of histological assessments of disease activity in UC

Conclusions
Although ‘substantial’ to ‘almost perfect’ ICCs for intrarater agreement were found in the assessment of HA in UC, ICCs for inter-rater agreement were considerably lower. According to the consensus process results, standardisation of item definitions and modification of the existing indices is required to create an optimal UC histological instrument.
