This record contains raw data related to article “Milan Ultrasound Criteria are accurate in assessing disease activity in ulcerative colitis: External validation" Introduction: The aim of this study was to provide an external validation of bowel ultrasound (US) predictors of<br> activity in ulcerative colitis (UC) and quantitative Milan Ultrasound Criteria (MUC).<br> Methods: Forty-three consecutive patients with UC (16 in endoscopic remission and 27 with endoscopic activity)<br> underwent bowel US and colonoscopy in a tertiary referral inflammatory bowel disease unit.<br> Results: A MUC score &gt;6.2 discriminated patients with active versus non-active UC with a sensitivity of 0.85 (95%<br> confidence interval (CI) 0.66–0.96), specificity of 0.94 (95% CI 0.70–0.99) and an area under the curve of 0.902 (95%<br> CI 0.772–0.971) in complete agreement with the derivation study.<br> Conclusion: The external validation of MUC confirms that it is an accurate tool for assessing disease activity in<br> patients with UC.<br>
