Percentage of Participants With Clinical Response at 14 Weeks for CD Participants |
Clinical response in CD participants was evaluated using Harvey-Bradshaw index (HBI) scale. HBI scale consisted of clinical parameters: general well-being (0-4, where higher score means lower wellbeing), abdominal pain (0-3, higher score means more severe pain), number of liquid stools per day, abdominal mass (0-3, where higher score means presence of swelling in the abdomen), and complications (score 1 per item). Total score was the sum of individual parameters. The score ranged from a minimum score of 0 to no pre-specified maximum score as it depended on the number of liquid stools, where higher scores indicated more severe disease. Clinical response was defined as HBI score less than or equal to (<=) 4 or reduction of greater than or equal to (>=) 3 points in scores from index date or based on physician assessment. Index date was defined as the date when vedolizumab or other biologic treatment was initiated. |

Percentage of Participants With Endoscopic Response at 52 Weeks for CD Participants |
Endoscopic response for CD participants was evaluated using simple endoscopic index for Crohn's disease (SES-CD) score. SES-CD evaluated 4 endoscopic variables (ulcer size, percentage of the surface area that was ulcerated, percentage of the surface area affected, and stenosis in 5 segments evaluated during ileocolonoscopy (ileum, right colon, transverse colon, left colon, and rectum). The score for each endoscopic variable was the sum of values obtained for each segment. The SES-CD total was the sum of the 4 endoscopic variable scores from 0 to 56, where higher scores indicate more severe disease. Endoscopic response was defined as SES-CD score <=2 or based on physician assessment (for UC and CD both). SES-CD score at index date >0 relative difference was calculated (100*[Index date-52 weeks assessment]/Index date) and relative difference of >= 50% was considered response. Index date was defined as the date when vedolizumab or other biologic treatment was initiated. |
