In the emergency subgroup (3 patients), mean LoHS was 27.66 days (range: 15 47 days). Two patients were on steroid treatment at time of surgery and one encountered postoperative complications. Conclusions: LoHS and incidence of postoperative complications are significantly raised in those patients undergoing emergency procedures for UC. Multiple drug therapy and the use of a biological agent or steroids at time of surgery do not appear to affect LoHS significantly in this small sample. More extensive data is needed to identify potentially modifiable presurgical factors influencing LoHS and a larger data set would increase reliability of results.
