Background: This updated systematic review and meta-analysis investigates the putative role of the appendix in ulcerative colitis as a therapeutic target.
Methods: Ovid Medline, Embase, PubMed and CENTRAL were searched with MeSH terms ("appendectomy" OR "appendicitis" OR "appendix") AND ("colitis, ulcerative") through October 2020, producing 1469 references. Thirty studies, including 118 733 patients, were included for qualitative synthesis and 11 for quantitative synthesis.
