At one of our ImproveCareNow population management meetings, Dr. Chelly Dykes reviewed the Paris Classification and frequent misconceptions in using this system.  To illustrate this point, I am going to post 6 Quiz Slides and then follow that with the answers and explanation.  These quiz slides were derived from previous ImproveCareNow community meetings.

Answers:

1. A
2. B (macroscopic disease counts –erythema alone does not count)
3. A (macroscopic disease counts)
4. B (not ileum only unless colonic disease extends beyond cecum)
5. F (though B acceptable)
6. F (though B acceptable)
