- Background: Although the criteria for acute severe ulcerative colitis have been stable for decades, the epidemiology for this condition has rarely been described in a population-based setting.Aim: To describe the appearance, treatment and outcome of acute severe ulcerative colitis in a population-based cohort of ulcerative colitis diagnosed between 2005 and 2009.Methods: Between 2005 and 2009, all patients diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in the County of Uppsala, a geographical area consisting of an average 318,000 individuals, were included in a cohort that was followed until the end of 2019. Three hundred and thirty patients covering an age interval of 3-86 years, were included. The medical records of the patients were scrutinized with regard to clinical course, drugs prescribed for IBD, hospitalization and surgical interventions. Patients that had left the health care area were contacted through letters except in case of emigration outside the country.Results: Forty-nine patients experienced a first severe attack (14.8%), and six of these were operated (12.2%). Fifteen patients suffered a second or third attack, and one more was operated. One elderly lady died postoperatively from sepsis. Conclusions: Acute severe attacks of ulcerative colitis appeared early after diagnosis and if surgery was escaped, there was no increased need for surgery in case of a new severe attack later.
