Abstract
Background & aims: Endoscopic improvement is an important treatment target for mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis (UC). However, early endoscopic evaluation is not always feasible. We aimed to develop a clinical decision support tool to discriminate patients who have achieved endoscopic improvement from those with more severe inflammation following mesalamine induction therapy.
