*n (%) with maximum Spigelman stage.

†pValues are from testing for a significant difference in the proportion of women who experienced a high Spigelman stage before pregnancy and those who did not, nested within categories of germline mutation (MCR vs non‐MCR and before vs after nucleotide 1020. Logistic regression adjusted for age at colectomy and clustered on family.
