Cancer Risk and Life Expectancy of Children with Ulcerative Colitis
Abstract
An actuarial analysis of the long-term survival of 396 children suffering from ulcerative colitis showed that survival rates were 78, 58, 39 and 27 per cent at 10, 20, 30 and 43 years, respectively. The death rate was 20 per cent per decade. The risk of the development of cancer was also 20 per cent per decade for those at risk, but this began after the first 10 years of ulcerative colitis. Among patients suffering from ulcerative colitis involving the entire colon, the death rate was higher, and the risk of cancer greater than among those who had disease limited to the rectum at the time of diagnosis. For 40 of these patients who underwent proctocolectomy the long-term survival rate apparently was improved after an initially higher risk in the first year after operation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
