Data from: Bristol stool scale: Patient versus expert score data

The Bristol Stool Scale (BSS) is one of the most commonly used tools for evaluation of stool consistency. BSS ranges from 1-7 and each score is assigned to a given consistency of the feces. Self-reported characterizations can differ from an expert evaluation, and the reliability of BSS is unclear. The dataset consists of BSS scores by patients with inflammatory bowel disease collected throughout a 3-year follow-up, matched with scores assessed by experienced bioengineers (experts). The purpose of the study where data was collected was to compare patient scores to expert scores and hence determine the reliability of the BSS.
