Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) in children is frequently severe and treatment-refractory. While medical therapy is well standardized, little is known regarding factors that contribute to surgical indications. The aim was to identify factors associated with progression to colectomy in a large cohort of pediatric UC patients. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the Pediatric Health Information System database. All patients under age 18 were identified, discharged between January 1, 2004 and September 30, 2011, with a primary diagnosis of UC.
