@article{Rubin2019ACGCG, title={ACG Clinical Guideline: Ulcerative Colitis in Adults}, author={David T. Rubin and Ashwin N. Ananthakrishnan and Corey A Siegel and Bryan G. Sauer and Millie D. Long}, journal={The American Journal of Gastroenterology}, year={2019}, volume={114}, pages={384–413} }
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic inflammatory disorder. These guidelines indicate the preferred approach to the management of adults with UC and represent the official practice recommendations of the American College of Gastroenterology. The scientific evidence for these guidelines was evaluated using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) process. In instances where the evidence was not appropriate for GRADE, but there was consensus of…
