Abstract

The use of oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in 31 patients with collagenous colitis and in 31 matched control patients with irritable bowel syndrome or colonic diverticular disease who had also undergone colonoscopy and biopsy was investigated. The long term use (greater than 6 months) of NSAIDs was significantly commoner in the study group (19/31) than in the control group (4/31) (p less than 0.02), even assuming the most adverse drug history in six patients in whom this could not be established. In all patients with collagenous colitis taking NSAIDs, diarrhoea followed the use of these drugs, and by a mean (SD) of 5.5 (4.4) years (range 0.5 to 15 years). In three patients with collagenous colitis, diarrhoea improved after withdrawing NSAIDs; rechallenge in one was followed by a recurrence of diarrhoea, which improved after withdrawing the drug again. It is suggested that NSAIDs may play an aetiological role in the diarrhoea and thickened collagen band in some patients with collagenous colitis.

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.
