Article Synopsis
- Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, incurable disease characterized by periods of remission and relapse, with increasing global prevalence.
- A comprehensive review involved healthcare professionals and patients to formulate clinical questions, retrieve evidence from various databases, and provide recommendations using the GRADE system.
- For treatment, budesonide MMX is recommended for mild-to-moderate UC, while moderate-to-severe cases may utilize therapies like infliximab and adalimumab, with alternatives available if initial treatments fail.
