Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a subtype of inflammatory bowel disease that can develop extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) in a subgroup of patients. The aim of this work was to study the frequency and clinical factors associated with the development of EIMs. METHODS: We evaluated a total of 260 Mexican patients with confirmed UC who were followed retrospectively in order to identify the factors associated with the presence of EIMs. RESULTS: The frequency of EIM was 55.8%. The factors associated with the development of EIM were pancolitis (p = 0.003, OR = 2.44, 95% CI = 1.34-4.56) and previous colectomy (p = 0.024, OR = 7.54, 95% CI = 1.20-60.44). A clinical course of initial activity and then long remission for >5 years was found to be a protective factor (p = 0.002, OR = 0.31, 95% CI = 0.14-0.67). CONCLUSION: The frequency of EIM was 55.8% in our population, and the factors associated with their development were pancolitis and colectomy; meanwhile, a clinical course of initial activity and then long remission was a protector feature.
