In a multicohort study, abdominal pain was found to be common in patients with ulcerative colitis, regardless of whether they had an active disease or were in deep remission.
Abdominal pain is prevalent in patients with active and quiescent ulcerative colitis , affects a higher proportion of patients during active disease, and is worse among women, patients with anxiety, and those with active disease.Researchers analyzed the data from three existing cohorts of adult patients with UC from Sweden to investigate the prevalence of abdominal pain and factors associated with it in active and quiescent UC.
Disease activity assessments were based on the clinician’s overall assessment based on symptoms, lab tests, and recent endoscopic investigations in cohort I and on Mayo scores and fecal calprotectin levels in cohorts II and III. Deep remission was defined as a total Mayo score ≤ 2, and all patients who were not in deep remission were categorized as having active disease.
In cohort II, female sex and having active disease were independently associated with higher levels of abdominal pain.
