- The ImageKids study aimed to create and validate the PEMPAC index for assessing perianal Crohn's disease in children using MRI scans across 21 global sites.
- A total of 80 children were involved, with specific criteria for evaluating various aspects of their condition, leading to two statistical models that correlated well with existing assessment tools.
- The study concluded that the PEMPAC index effectively measures disease severity in children, and the adult Van Assche index can also be applied reliably in this pediatric population.
