Background: Despite the extensive reporting of pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC) from industrialized developed countries, reports from developing countries are limited to small-case series from single centers. The objective of our large multicenter study was to determine the clinical, laboratory, endoscopic characteristics of UC in children from a developing country, Saudi Arabia.
Design And Settings: A retrospective study of children diagnosed with UC under the age of 18 years during the period from 2003 to 2012.
