Kurzfassung:
In ulcerative colitis patients experiencing a severe attack, the risk of long‐term colectomy is relevant even in patients who initially respond to medical therapy. This risk is significantly higher in patients who need rescue therapy compared to those who respond to intravenous steroids. A significant proportion of patients who avoid early colectomy will require additional therapy and new hospitalisations during follow‐up. Previous exposure to anti‐tumour necrosis factor‐α (anti‐TNFα) agents and need of rescue therapy for steroid refractoriness are independently associated with the risk of long‐term colectomy.
