The Crohn's Disease Activity Index or CDAI is a research tool used to quantify the symptoms of patients with Crohn's disease.This is of useful importance in research studies done on medications used to treat Crohn's disease; most major studies on newer medications use the CDAI in order to define response or remission of disease.
The association between inflammatory conditions of the eye and Crohn's disease is due to many Crohn's disease patients having genetic markers such as HLA-B07, HLA-B27 and HLA-DRB1*0103. [57] Additionally, cytokines IL-6, IL-10, and IL-17 which are produced in the bowel enter the circulatory system and travel to the eyes to trigger inflammation.
