The obsRO scores were always within the same disease-activity category as the corresponding PRO score (ie, remission, mild and moderate-severe disease). There was a strong correlation of the TUMMY-UC PRO and obsRO scores with physician global assessment of disease activity (r = 0.94 and r = 0.90, respectively, P
