Ho 2004 day-3 IV-steroid score for severe UC (0–9)

Ho 2004 day-3 IV-steroid score for severe UC (0–9): mean stools (<4 → 0; 4 ≤ x < 6 → 1; 6 ≤ x ≤ 9 → 2; x > 9 → 4), caller-assigned colonic dilatation (+4), albumin <30 g/L (+1; 30 is not low). Failure: 0–1 → 11%, 2–3 → 43%, ≥4 → 85% (ROC ≥4). Not Travis, not Truelove and Witts, not a colectomy order. magent does not count stools, read films, or measure albumin.
