Abstract

Summary: Background : The failure rate of medical therapy in severe ulcerative colitis is high. A risk index, to aid the identification of patients of not responding at an early stage to intravenous corticosteroid therapy, would be useful to facilitate second‐line treatment or surgery. Methods : We recruited 167 consecutive patients with severe ulcerative colitis between January 1995 and March 2002; and employed multiple logistic regression to analyse parameters within the first 3 days of medical therapy. We applied statistical modelling to formulate a risk score according to the likelihood of medical failure. Results : Sixty‐seven (40%) patients failed to respond to medical therapy. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified mean stool frequency and colonic dilatation within the first 3 days and hypoalbuminaemia as independent predictors of outcome (P < 0.001, 0.001 and 0.002 respectively). A numerical risk score was formulated based on these variables. Patients with scores of 0–1, 2–3 and ≥4 had a medical therapy failure rate of 11%, 43% and 85% respectively. Receiver–operator characteristic analysis of this score yielded area under curve of 0.88, with a sensitivity of 85% and specificity of 75% using score ≥4 in predicting non‐response. Conclusion : This risk score allows the early identification of patients with severe ulcerative colitis who would be suitable for second‐line medical therapy or surgery.

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.
