Cortisone in Ulcerative Colitis
Open accessAbstract
In a preliminary report (Truelove and Witts, 1954) we have given the immediate results of a controlled trial of cortisone in the treatment of chronic ulcerative colitis.In the present paper it is intended to fill in some of the details about the immediate results and to report on the subsequent progress of the patients.The trial was con- fined to typical cases of chronic ulcerative colitis which would normally be expected to require at least six weeks' treatment in hospital, and patients with regional colitis, ileitis, or proctitis were not included.A total of 213 patients received treatment.Of these, three have been rejected from the analysis of results for the following reasons: one patient proved to be suffering from carcinoma of the colon, one had had a colostomy, and in the third the records were inadequate.Of the remain- ing 210 patietts, 109 received cortisone and 101 received the dummy preparation.Diagnosis.-Thediagnosis was established by the following criteria: (1) History.(2) Character of stools.(3) Sigmoidoscopy (in very ill patients, proctoscopy was regarded as sufficient).(4) Barium enema, except when the patient was gravely ill.(5) Absence of known pathogens in the stools.

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.
