Mortality associated with medical therapy versus elective colectomy in ulcerative colitis: a cohort study.
This study sought to determine whether patients with advanced ulcerative colitis (UC) treated with elective colectomy have improved survival compared with those treated with medical therapy. It found that elective colectomy was associated with improved survival compared with long-term medical therapy, although this result did not remain statistically significant in all sensitivity analyses.
