Background: Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the mainstay of surgical treatment for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) but is associated with an increased risk of infertility. We developed a simulation model examining the impact of initial surgical procedure on quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) and fertility end points.
Methods: A patient-level state transition model was used to analyze outcomes by surgical approach strategy for females of childbearing age.
