- Background: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a debilitating inflammatory bowel disease. Present knowledge regarding UC disease progression over time is limited.Objective: To assess UC progression to severe disease along with disease burden and associated factors.Methods: Electronic medical records linked with Swedish national health registries (2005-2015) were used to identify disease progression of UC. Odds of all-cause and disease-related hospitalization within 1 year were compared between patients with disease progression and those without. Annual indirect costs were calculated based on sick leave, and factors related to UC progression were examined.Results: Of the 1,361 patients with moderate UC, 24% progressed to severe disease during a median of 5.2 years. Severe UC had significantly higher odds for all-cause (OR [odds ratio] 1.47, 95% CI [confidence interval]: 1.12-1.94, P < 0.01) and UC-related hospitalization (OR 2.47, 95% CI: 1.76-3.47, P < 0.0001) compared to moderate disease. Average sick leave was higher in patients who progressed compared to those who did not (64.4 vs 38.6 days, P < 0.001), with higher indirect costs of 151,800 SEK (16,415 ) pound compared with 92,839 SEK (10,039 ) pound (P < 0.001), respectively. UC progression was related to young age (OR 1.62, 95% CI: 1.17-2.25, P < 0.01), long disease duration (OR 1.09, 95% CI: 1.03-1.15, P < 0.001), and use of corticosteroids (OR 2.49, 95% CI: 1.67-3.72, P < 0.001).Conclusion: Disease progression from moderate to severe UC is associated with more frequent and longer hospitalizations and sick leave. Patients at young age with long disease duration and more frequent gluco-corticosteroid medication are associated with progression to severe UC.
